I saw today that one of my maple trees has started to form flower buds. I pulled the sap taps and set the sap to boiling. I didn't get a lot of sap but I hope to have enough for a couple pancakes at least. I had about 2 gallons of sap. Not all of it fit in the pot at first so I boiled some down before adding the rest. I'm boiling the sap in my new, top of the line, orange Lodge enameled cast iron cookware that I got for Christmas. I love my new orange pot and I use it all the time for soup, making cheese, or anything that needs sauteing before baking. I just don't know how I got along without the new pan. The house feels a little humid right now.
