I agree that syrup is delicious on pancakes! I will be fun to compare notes when we see you next. Maple Doughnuts? That sounds like a recipe worth trying! Looking forward to seeing your family soon.

Wow Daniel! That’s fascinating! Just this morning James suggested I try a little syrup as flavoring for my plain yogurt. It was really good.

Thanks for sharing with us and inspiring my brothers to also tap into this delicious treasure.

I am so glad to hear God is blessing your family with so much with sap! This year has been perfect for tapping. Thank you Daniel for your experience and inspiration to get us started in maple tapping. It is very rewarding. God continue to bless! Can’t wait to hear more about the creative uses for this rare resource.

Kenan & Daniel have become quite the connoisseurs of maple syrup. Their simple, cost effect operation has been a great savings financially as the fresh maple syrup takes the place of bottled maple syrup which comes all the way from Canada and costs $36+ per gallon! We really appreciate their contribution to the family!

I think the recent idea about making maple donuts would be excellent (didn’t we hear that 1 gallon of syrup would produce enough donuts to make $200, if sold?). I reckon Mom & Daniel will have to do some experimenting. Thank you guys!

Wow! 100 gallons of sap! You guys have been busy. Your enterprising efforts have inspired our family to do the same, I hear. I am so looking forward to visiting home in a couple of weeks and enjoying some fresh maple syrup! It sounds really tasty!
