That sounds like fun. Doesn’t it take like a ton (not literally) of sap to make a small batch of syrup?
With red maples the ratio of sap to syrup is roughly 40:1 boil down/reduce 40 quarts of sap for 1 quart of syrup or heat it a little longer to turn the syrup into sugar--- That's tricky and requires constant attention as the crystals begin to form---reduce heat and scrape the crystals from the sides of the pot until most of what is left is sugar pour it out into a manageable thickness cool and enjoy (it makes a great candy) but it's a lot of work
