Wednesday April 6 Waffles and Maple syrup

Wednesday we had waffles for a special treat . We had a big discussion about the  maple tree and the sap and the process to make syrup. Here is our story.

The sap in the pail during the day not frozen.





 

The frozen sap on Tuesday  evening.

 

I put it on a big pot to thaw and boil.

 

 

Mr. Tizzard  and Noah helped strain the sap to clean  it with filters.

 

 

It boiled for 5 hours and I put it in a smaller pot.

 

 

The syrup .

This what it looked like after it cooled down. We sampled this syrup on Wednesday.

Yummmy!!!!  

 

 

I loved learning with the children. This was new for me too.
