My first taste of MI maple syrup was...

[Tomkat]

Freaking awesome!!!

Thank you Jehler!

Now I know why you all turn your nose up at inferior corn syrup.

[jehler]

Glad you like it TK, now I need to send the famous buckwheat yeast rising pancake recipe

[assateague]

Yuck.

[jehler]

I can handle you yucking the syrup, but if you are yucking grandma's famous Buckwheat's we got a problem

[Woody]

Yuck.

What do you like?

I am not going to doubt you, so far you have been right on the mark.

What really surprised me was how thin maple syrup is over corn syrup.

[Botiz630]

Yuck.

What do you like?

He's happy as can be with a 12 pack of Taco Bell, but he doesn't like pure maple syrup and homemade pancakes. It's not natural.

[assateague]

Yuck.

What do you like?

Aside from donuts, I'm not a huge fan of sweet stuff. If someone made a pancake flavored raised donut, I'd probably love it.

[Tomkat]

AT, you seem like a fella that would like to make maple syrup

[Woody]

AT, you seem like a fella that would like to make maple syrup

Only because that would make it kinda free.

[assateague]

Pretty sure I don't have the trees or weather for it. Almost all our maples are silver maples.

Silver maples work, just less sugar content so a little more boiling.

[assateague]

Really? I may give it a whirl next year, then.

[assateague]

I'll send you mine, TK. Gonna call it the People's Syrup.

Probably gonna get taxed for it...

[assateague]

I probably need a license.

To recap, what has transpired here:
"I don't like maple syrup... Oh, I can get it for near free... I love maple syrup"

[assateague]

Oh, I'm not gonna eat it. Just want to try making. I like adding skills to the repertoire.

It takes extreme patience and diligence. We have or had ten or twelve sugar maple trees in the yard when I was in high school.
My mom decided to have me tap them all. She bought all the stuff and tried making syrup on her electric kitchen stove.
Made the house smell good but she kept scorching it when the pan got dry. Lucky she didn't burn the house down.
We ended up with a pitifully small amount that took me a lot of labor to get.
I was the guy who had to check the dang trees two or three times a day for the time when it freezes at night and thaws during the days. I do like maple syrup and have some now but it's not from Michigan. Some place in Canada.

Log Cabin makes the best syrup.
Buckwheat is that kid with the funny hair and dark complexion on Lil Rascals.

I call your Maple Syrup and raise you THIS:

Please put a Gadsen flag in the label. You are going to need to make a Commonwealth Rain Tax Stamp for it as well.

Jarbo and I are thinking about holding an annual "Free State Maple Syrup tasting contest" here pretty quick. We think we would be the best judges because we have not been biased towards real maple syrup, and we both like to eat.
Coming up in May: TomKat and Jarbo test NY State VS MI syrup. Two syrups enter, only one comes out a winnter.

Maybe you could get an entry from you for next years contest?

That was funny Woods. That is how I operate a lot of times, doing what ever I feel like at that particular moment.

We will be washing the maple down with many beers. As of right now, NY has to have a slight edge, it was sent in a man sized container, not stolen from some midgets!

I put my prime MI maple on some good vanilla ice cream last night. It was the bomb!!!

But we will need to get Goodkarmarising in one the judging, it needs to be a 3 judge panel. Plus, I think he likes to eat, too

[Tomkat]

Assateague, here is something that you will find interesting, a bit about making syrup out of silver and red maples-

I have a few maple trees in my yard...I wonder if I could get some syrup out of them.

I don't want to fuck it up by actually trying to learn about it first.
