Smells and tastes just like burned marshmallows over the camp fire.....

Low and slow on the syrup, hot and fast is a no no

 boiling it down is way more work than collecting it.

harder too.

Syrup is ready when sap is boiled down and temp. registers 7 degrees above boiling point for water at your altitude.  When that temp. is reached you need to immediately pull from heat source or chance what you've experienced, it burns quickly and then ruins a lot of hard work.

I knew that..... but I was involved in a new bread recipe that distracted me..... I've gotta quit getting distracted.....
