I've personally worked with sugar for about 5 years making anywhere from sugar sculptures to candies for pastry tops and etc. So here are a few basic tips for peeps: 1. a laser thermometer would do just fine but you might want to have it mentally calibrated specifically for the sugar type you want to make and yes sometimes there's a difference in temperature between between the bottom and top of the syrup you're reducing. 2. If you plan to do this regularly and don't want to waste such good sugar then upgrading to a non stick copper pot would do wonders. Specially the thicker ones that heps evenly distribute the heat. And a wide top is even better. 3. I know some people might be tempted but do NOT use a wooden spoon to control the bubbles. I've been there, it doesn't work for sugar or the wood's gonna absorb said sugar. And 4. Safety. If you are new to sugar manipulation of any kind, always wear slightly thick cloth/gardening gloves and have a bowl of warm water nearby in case of accidental spills. Sugar holds a lot of heat and will cause 3rd degree burns on contact if you don't submerge it in warm water in time.
This is a great way to get sugar, but there is an herb called Stevia you can grow and use as sugar also. I don't know that I could do all this and get all the equipment to get it done right. But I loved watching the process.
Whenever I boil sweet potatoes, I keep the water boiling after taking the potatoes out, until it reduces to a syrup. It tastes amazing in coffee, on popcorn, and when used in baking. Zero waste, vegan/beeless, and cheapm
I had to give this a go and it's a fun bit of kitchen alchemy. The transition from a sticky goo to a pan full of clean crystals in just a few seconds is borderline magical!
Hello guys! I'm from Brazil and I'm currently studying methods to make sugar from jackfruit. And you guys just gave me the light on how to do it! GENIUS! Thank you for sharing the knowledge. ;)
Wow! I didn't know jack fruit can make sugar! You learn something new each day. We've jack fruits in Kenya, thank you for this idea, maybe you should make a video on how to do that.
Great video, didn't know that mapple tree had such a yield. To measure the moisture content of the sugar before storage you can probably use the following method : Take a sample of sugar (10 to 20 grams if your scale is able to go .00 more if not) and weight it Put it into the oven at 110 °C for 2 hours Weight it right after taking it out of the furnace to prevent moisture getting back in it All of the water should be gone and the difference in mass is your ammount of water that as left %Water = ((Initial weight - Final weight)/Initial weight)*100 For exemple Iweight = 100 gr and Fweight = 95 gr then moisture content = ((100-95)/100)*100 = 5% We use this method in foundry to test sand and other dry product moisture content, i think it could work aswell with sugar
@@LokiOdinssnn fair point, i didn't consider the temp because I'm usually working with material that are inert below 1200 C When testing new methods there is always a trial and error period to adapt to the new task and environment
Fantastic job with explaining, filming, and editing each step while keeping it under 20 minutes! I was watching intently, didn't seem like almost 20 minutes. Raised in Florida and have never seen maple syrup turned into sugar before - fascinating how easy it is. THANKS! 🙂👍💖
I got here by looking up worm farms, now I learnt how to make sugar out of maple syrup... You've gained a life long follower and that was nothing short of magical lol. You guys are incredible, keep the videos coming!
@HotNoob any maple tree (Acer), yes, but not just ‘any tree’ species is going to give you syrup. Black Walnut is another species that will give you a sweet syrup. Birch will give you a syrup like molasses. But there are few tree species that will give you a sweet syrup like maple species do.
Great video! Down in the south where we are, sugar maples aren't really a thing. But I love tapping the maple outside the house in Feb for the sap to brew my coffee in for a few days. It's such a treat. Sorghum is usually our sugar source here but they say it won't turn into crystals. Never tried. Thanks for the video!
Ahh yes, the good ole maple sap coffee! I think sorghum needs some sort of catalyst to crystallize but not 100% sure on that. Stay safe down there bud!
For that you probably can just try to use a bit of those bigger sugar chunks? Like that turbinado sugar? Maybe rock candy sugar as well would work. Even normal sugar, but that would likely take a longer time to make it crystalize cause those sugar crystals are much smaller so there is less catalyziation.(as in less of a way for the structure to begin bonding as it cools) I've made rock sugar before and I have made a LOT of glass candy. (recently made ginger class candy cause I had ginger syrup left over from making candy ginger.) One problem with glass candy you'll see is YOU DO NOT STIR. Period. NEVER. The agitation will make sugar crystals form and you can basically just recrystallize the sugar. All you are doing is a simple crystallization process, did this in grade school several times.
That was awesome to watch! I made syrup for the first time a few years ago and hope to do it again next year. I'm going to have to try to make some into sugar. Thanks for sharing.
Hey just passing by mentionning i've been dreaming of going and living in Canada since i'm 4, and you guys just keep adding on the fantasy with your lifestyle ! You look like such a lovely family, Caddis looks like such a good girl and all in all, i'm just overjoyed having found your channel ! Amanda, Dave, have a great day folks !
That was actually really cool to watch. I have never seen that happen. And I am Canadian. Born in Ontario but grew up in the west... never really experienced this other than the 'maple sugar snow treats' during scouts. Very cool. +1
Love using maple sugar in my tea! Easier than using honey, and much healthier than other sugars! Grew up with maple syrup and can’t stand fake syrups! If I had a maple tree…
well I didn't think that was going to happen!?!?!? pretty cool!... never knew how one made maple sugar! Love the numbers at the end just to know how many trees it would take. thanks!
This is one of THE most valuable videos I've ever watched. I don't have maples where I live, but I have other tappable trees that I can do this from. Thank you both for sharing this awesome skill.
This was a fantastic video! I really appreciate that you showed everything. This whole process seems doable now that you've demystified it. Now I'm off to watch your next video on how to make sugar from sugar beets, etc.
I am so excited to use up most or all of our previous years' maple syrup. I have been using it for my own cooking, but now I plan on making our own maple sugar!! Thanks for this easy-to-follow video!
That was amazing and you are right, it does look like magic! I have never seen this before so thanks for sharing it. I just may splurge and by a quart of maple syrup and make my own sugar. When I do I’ll post about the experience on here.
@@lori6911 would love to hear how it works out for you! We make a heck of a lot of it here. This year it will probably replace all of our sugar needs for canning, wine making, etc.
I never thought about using RO to concentrate the sugars; thats brilliant! Nice too, having a large open container to boil down; gives plenty of evaporation surface area.
The knowledge that the two of you have is outstanding! honestly, there is no way in the world can you two ever go hungry with all of that know how , this is something I would love to learn myself one day
You know, I live about as far from Canada as you can get and I was just awestruck by your video! Who knew sugar making could be such a magical process!
Fantastic to see alternative sugar creation than from the normal Cane and Beet sugar production, love your evaporator unit much different from the Industry standard :) if you do not want to grind the lumps you can melt it and add it for the next batch in the filtration part ;)
The small chunked ones look like they'll be good for making those Mcdonald breakfast pancake sandwiches. Where there's beads of maple syrup inbedded into the pancake
Well, this video was awesome. 🎉Thanks. That was magic. I live in Germany. Maple syrup is imported and expensive. It's delicious. Sadly no maple trees here. Im going to watch your video on using beets now. 👏👏
What a very cool vid! I loved the "Here it comes..." mentions to let us know when to watch closer. I have fond memories of going to maple sugar shacks as a child and this made me wonder if the couple massive maples in our yard could be something fun to bring into the kids' lives. At the end where you mentioned overall yeild that really helped solidify the idea! Awesome job on this!
I think i have never eaten maple syrup since it is not common in my country. But you made me watch the video. Good job guys, it seems delicious and practical ❤😊

wowee.... i can't believe my brain didn't figure this out. It is pretty damn awesome what over mixing different things, does. Like over mixing cream = butter
@@Wilderstead I am not sure what you are referring to. I am talking about making syrup form my own kitchen using shagbark hickory trees, no refined sugar involved. Shag bark HIckory is a type of tree.
You are right it doesn’t require refined sugars, but what was meant is that the flavour is coming from the hickory, but you need to add sugar of some sort to make it syrup, where in the case of maple, and some other trees, the sugars are from the sap of the tree.
@@Wilderstead I had gotten quite excited when I learned about shagbark hickory as I'm looking to move to western New York, but you are right about the sugar. I hadn't realized that before. It kind of cancels itself out if there needs to be sugar added. Thanks for the heads up there. Really loved your video.
I would think your late season maple sugar would be quite valuable as a novelty or niche product , especially on doughnuts or baked goods and on bacon smoking!
The syrup you start with runs about $40 a gallon so yeah , it's expensive sugar if you don't have trees and evaparator and the time to do it. I do my own , small scale and when we have enough syrup the rest goes into sugar.
Interesting Memories of my childhood 1950+- Never thought I was ever going to see this again my grandfather how live to be 97 never bought sugar as like you made his sugar . Thanks for sharing Take Care Enjoy From St Charles sur Richelieu Suggestion To eliminate the humidity put small ½lbs cotton bags of rice or beans in the container The sticky sugar can be used to make toffee ad some syrup and boil
Just saw your video and it's eye-opening! I'm from germany and we can try it with our trees too. So next year will be my "sugar-year". Thanks for this. ❤
I cannot tell you how very much I’ve enjoyed your video! Here in Arkansas I grow small amounts of sorghum and sugar cane. I process small amounts of syrup of both. I have black walnut trees that I could tap. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the light or extra light syrup. It has a lighter taste and smaller sugar grains for putting in molds. Love the darker syrups for cooking and baking for a more intense maple taste.
Wow, amazing. I’m going to try this and really make it work. We don’t eat a lot of sugar, not even honey or maple syrup-but when we do, we love to use maple sugar. For now, we’ve been purchasing it from a farm but wanted to make it ourselves. Thank you :)
That was the coolest thing ever! We have made maple syrup for years, but never sugar. We did have a happy accident happen once though. My husband was boiling the sap down and came into the house. Something went wrong and it got really smokey in the sugar shack and made the syrup taste smoked. He was devastated and thought he had ruined the syrup. I tasted it and told him it would be perfect to make barbecue sauce or to baste meat with, and it was. The most delicious smokey barbecue sauce I've ever made.
Hi, thanks for sharing, love learning how to make all kind of stuff, had thought about maybe trying to make maple sugar one day, but my idea was basically to just make maple candies and then crush 'em up,... but that look way easier and faster, and really does look like real sugar!! For the clumping up, dunno if it would work as well for sugar, but i used to have that problem with my onion powder, if unused for too long it would sometimes just all turn into one big clump as hard as a rock.. and for a few years now i've been saving those small silica packs that they put into advil liqui-gel, i use them when i want to store stuff that could get damaged by humidity(paper stuff like books, documents, picture, electronics, etc..) but had the idea to drop one into my onion powder last time i had to crush it up, witch was over a year ago, haven't had a single clump form since!! :p
I live in FL. Not much sugar maple tree sugaring going on, but we do have sugar cane that we can grow and we bought a Cane Crusher/juicer. Now I know how to granulate it! Thank you!
@@WildersteadIn the old days, they made loaf sugar. You have to get the sediment out, they used boneblack and eggs. They poured the syrup into cone shaped bags hanging over a pot. Pored the thickened syrup into it. The juice/uncrystalized syrup dripped out the bottom and what was left was sugar. The bottom pan was reheated until it was ready to pour into another bag. And they did this over and over again until they couldn't get anymore crystalization out of it. What was left was a sort of molasses.
I love that maple syrup is treated like gold in Canada. In Arizona, we have cactus and copper. So, we have to buy your maple syrup. Thank you Canada! So yummy.
That is so awesome!!!! I just moved up into the mountains with my children and I have been looking up ways of survival and how to live off the land. We have only been up here a year and I just started learning I know I have a long way to go still but you guys taught me something I never knew could be done. I just want to thank you both for the knowledge. I will do more studying on how to get the syrup like you both did and then turn it into sugar for me and my children. First I need maple trees 😂. I would love more information about this project if you are both willing to teach me. Or do more videos on this subject 🙏🏼😁. Again thank you both…😁
Want to make sugar out of Beets, Sorghum or Honey? Check out this video - th-cam.com/video/xMRfheuXBVc/w-d-xo.html
Honey.
Thanks for the info! Keep up the great work
a thermometer is important but no pot no way to boil that sap makes that actually more important ... ;) one only needs to wait for a good steady mist over the boiling sap to set the temperature as until all the water is boiled off it will remain around the boiling point as it evaporates the water off ... yes it is more difficult to gauge BUT that is where experience comes in ...
.
chemistry tells us that until the water is boiled off or nearly so the temperature wont rise much ... and as it begins to rise above 100c ... it willl rise faster the closer it gets to having no water in the sugar ...
.
interesting fact: the name Waller is from the ladies in the tudor ages who used to evaporated the sugar beat liquid to make sugar in large pans over fire ... by walking back and forth with a rake to keep breaking up the crystals as they formed ..
.
the residue in the pot can be kept there until your last pot full then soak and place in a dehydrator in sugar stick molds or candle molds and make maple candy ... or sugar cubes ... a better use is to use that end clean out sugar water for bread making .. that way no maple syrup goes to waste ...
17:30 how does putting it in a container make it dry?
@@Bozemanjustin I guess I could just dump it out on the floor or the table to allow it to dry out 🙄 🤷
If you threw some tea bags into the pan with the stuck on sugar and heated it on the stove you could make sweet tea and no waste ;)
Someone else suggested that as well! What an amazing idea :)
Shocked that you threw away the sugar in the pan😱!
@@SK-ki1te They didn't throw it away. They are making powdered sugar.
You can also use it for animals that have fevers if you bottle it
TexasG … Sweet tea?
I’m not sure why the algorithms recommended this to me, but wow 😮 This was amazing to see the making of sugar. Really impressive 😊
Glad they did, if you can figure it out, let us know as we have no idea why this video is doing so well 😂🤣
Algorithm sent me here too! Amazing stuff!!
Very sweet of the algorithme to have send me here :)
@@Wilderstead This is the 1st of your videos I've seen. Subscribed so that I can see more. 😊
Same here. Now I'm going to be watching these videos for the next 4 hours! 🤣
Loved that you did a video from start to finish - including the cleanup of the pot!
Someone in the comments suggested pouring boiling hot tea in the pot instead to make sweet tea… so we are glad we included that part too! 🍁☕️
@@Wilderstead Seriously, I kinda cringed when he poured all that sugar water down the drain; surely there is some kind of use for it!
I've personally worked with sugar for about 5 years making anywhere from sugar sculptures to candies for pastry tops and etc.
So here are a few basic tips for peeps:
1. a laser thermometer would do just fine but you might want to have it mentally calibrated specifically for the sugar type you want to make and yes sometimes there's a difference in temperature between between the bottom and top of the syrup you're reducing.
2. If you plan to do this regularly and don't want to waste such good sugar then upgrading to a non stick copper pot would do wonders. Specially the thicker ones that heps evenly distribute the heat. And a wide top is even better.
3. I know some people might be tempted but do NOT use a wooden spoon to control the bubbles. I've been there, it doesn't work for sugar or the wood's gonna absorb said sugar.
And 4. Safety. If you are new to sugar manipulation of any kind, always wear slightly thick cloth/gardening gloves and have a bowl of warm water nearby in case of accidental spills. Sugar holds a lot of heat and will cause 3rd degree burns on contact if you don't submerge it in warm water in time.

Kindly do let us know how the jackfruit sugar production turns out & share your knowledge with us
From JACKFRUIT?????!!!!
Great video, didn't know that mapple tree had such a yield.
To measure the moisture content of the sugar before storage you can probably use the following method :
Take a sample of sugar (10 to 20 grams if your scale is able to go .00 more if not) and weight it
Put it into the oven at 110 °C for 2 hours
Weight it right after taking it out of the furnace to prevent moisture getting back in it
All of the water should be gone and the difference in mass is your ammount of water that as left
%Water = ((Initial weight - Final weight)/Initial weight)*100
For exemple Iweight = 100 gr and Fweight = 95 gr then moisture content = ((100-95)/100)*100 = 5%
We use this method in foundry to test sand and other dry product moisture content, i think it could work aswell with sugar
I love this audience 😂😂the smart subscribers😂😂😂
@@joelekisa6469is this sarcasmo
prob better with lower temp to avoid the sugar burning
@@LokiOdinssnn fair point, i didn't consider the temp because I'm usually working with material that are inert below 1200 C

I'm one of those people who can't boil water without burning it.😆😆 Thank you for sharing this though, I really enjoyed watching it.✌️✌️💪💪💪
That is AMAZING. WOW Thanks for sharing your video. ❤❤
That went from whipped maple syrup to grated parmesan cheese very quickly!
Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen someone do this ❤
Great!
wowee.... i can't believe my brain didn't figure this out. It is pretty damn awesome what over mixing different things, does. Like over mixing cream = butter
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! I love watching every single moment of this video. I just love the dynamic between you 2!!
Thanks!
wow, what a great video. it truly was magical
Magical to watch it happen IRL!
Wow! What an awesome idea! Thank you so much for sharing it!
I'm a huge fan of maple syrup, unfortunately it's very expensive here in Australia. But this was a very interesting and informative video. Thank you.
you might be able to make a syrup from your shagbark hickory trees. It's really good.
@@anniecole6348 shag bark hickory uses refined cane sugar to make syrup 🤮
@@Wilderstead I am not sure what you are referring to. I am talking about making syrup form my own kitchen using shagbark hickory trees, no refined sugar involved. Shag bark HIckory is a type of tree.
You are right it doesn’t require refined sugars, but what was meant is that the flavour is coming from the hickory, but you need to add sugar of some sort to make it syrup, where in the case of maple, and some other trees, the sugars are from the sap of the tree.
@@Wilderstead I had gotten quite excited when I learned about shagbark hickory as I'm looking to move to western New York, but you are right about the sugar. I hadn't realized that before. It kind of cancels itself out if there needs to be sugar added. Thanks for the heads up there. Really loved your video.
Watching that transformation was amazing, if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it.
I would think your late season maple sugar would be quite valuable as a novelty or niche product , especially on doughnuts or baked goods and on bacon smoking!
Thats exactly what we use to cure our bacon before it goes in the smoker! Same with salmon and trout. It's used in all of our baked goods here.
The syrup you start with runs about $40 a gallon so yeah , it's expensive sugar if you don't have trees and evaparator and the time to do it. I do my own , small scale and when we have enough syrup the rest goes into sugar.
As he promised, I was amazed! So cool! Thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
fahrenheit is one wierd way of measuring
Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Wow !!! I am amazed …thanks for sharing
Interesting
Memories of my childhood 1950+-
Never thought I was ever going to see this again my grandfather how live to be 97 never bought sugar as like you made his sugar .
Thanks for sharing
Take Care Enjoy

Suggestion
To eliminate the humidity put small
½lbs cotton bags of rice or beans in the container
The sticky sugar can be used to make toffee ad some syrup and boil
That is magic! So cool, thank you for showing us.
You are amazing I love this thank you 💕😊
Probably the sweetest video I have watched !
🍁🙂
So much work, but totally shows that it can be done and is probably so worth it!
Okay y'all are just awesome!! My kinda people!!
Bravo guys!!
Thanks!
That was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I have no idea how i got here but I'm invested now. TH-cam really is amazing.
Very cool! I didn’t know that process!..😀
Thank you for showing us how to make sugar. As long as there are sugar maple trees, we will never run out of sugar.
Just saw your video and it's eye-opening! I'm from germany and we can try it with our trees too. So next year will be my "sugar-year". Thanks for this. ❤
I cannot tell you how very much I’ve enjoyed your video! Here in Arkansas I grow small amounts of sorghum and sugar cane. I process small amounts of syrup of both. I have black walnut trees that I could tap. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the light or extra light syrup. It has a lighter taste and smaller sugar grains for putting in molds. Love the darker syrups for cooking and baking for a more intense maple taste.
Watching it crystallize was amazing!!! Very cool \0/
It is pretty awesome to watch!
As a totally Modern Woman who had no concept this was totally fascinating and I know people who have maple trees we could do that that was awesome
It is awesome!
Wow, amazing. I’m going to try this and really make it work. We don’t eat a lot of sugar, not even honey or maple syrup-but when we do, we love to use maple sugar. For now, we’ve been purchasing it from a farm but wanted to make it ourselves. Thank you :)
Beautiful video. I've never seen sugar made before. Ya'll explained it do well
Im absolutely blown away. Thank you. From one Canadian to another. Much love from Lloydminster, Sk
Really neat, eh! Thanks for tuning in! 🇨🇦
Wow this is amazing!!! I love his excitement when mixing it as it was turning into powder!
This was amazing to watch
No maple trees near me. It really was like magic seeing it change from liquid to granular
That was the coolest thing ever! We have made maple syrup for years, but never sugar. We did have a happy accident happen once though. My husband was boiling the sap down and came into the house. Something went wrong and it got really smokey in the sugar shack and made the syrup taste smoked. He was devastated and thought he had ruined the syrup. I tasted it and told him it would be perfect to make barbecue sauce or to baste meat with, and it was. The most delicious smokey barbecue sauce I've ever made.
I love happy little accidents like that 😃
Hi, thanks for sharing, love learning how to make all kind of stuff, had thought about maybe trying to make maple sugar one day, but my idea was basically to just make maple candies and then crush 'em up,... but that look way easier and faster, and really does look like real sugar!! For the clumping up, dunno if it would work as well for sugar, but i used to have that problem with my onion powder, if unused for too long it would sometimes just all turn into one big clump as hard as a rock.. and for a few years now i've been saving those small silica packs that they put into advil liqui-gel, i use them when i want to store stuff that could get damaged by humidity(paper stuff like books, documents, picture, electronics, etc..) but had the idea to drop one into my onion powder last time i had to crush it up, witch was over a year ago, haven't had a single clump form since!! :p
it was a very very useful video.. you guys are great.. thank you.... I've never written something like this before.... but now I take my hat off...!
Very nicely done! Complete and easy to understand. Thank you!
That's amazing! Fascinating process and so unpredictable.
It’s really fun to make and watch it crystallize. So cool.
That is just amazing, love it!
I live in FL. Not much sugar maple tree sugaring going on, but we do have sugar cane that we can grow and we bought a Cane Crusher/juicer.
Now I know how to granulate it! Thank you!
Have a look at the video in the first/pinned comment before you try that.
@@WildersteadIn the old days, they made loaf sugar. You have to get the sediment out, they used boneblack and eggs.
They poured the syrup into cone shaped bags hanging over a pot. Pored the thickened syrup into it.
The juice/uncrystalized syrup dripped out the bottom and what was left was sugar. The bottom pan was reheated until it was ready to pour into another bag. And they did this over and over again until they couldn't get anymore crystalization out of it.
What was left was a sort of molasses.
Wow haha I’m amazed that it’s that simple! Truly blown away!
So great!
This is awesome stuff! I'm just amazed how simple making sugar is. I always imagined you need special magic machines to make sugar.
This has to be one of the neatest things I have ever seen. Now I want to try this.
Do it!
I love that maple syrup is treated like gold in Canada. In Arizona, we have cactus and copper. So, we have to buy your maple syrup. Thank you Canada! So yummy.
This is the first time seeing the process. It was like magic.
That is so awesome!!!! I just moved up into the mountains with my children and I have been looking up ways of survival and how to live off the land. We have only been up here a year and I just started learning I know I have a long way to go still but you guys taught me something I never knew could be done. I just want to thank you both for the knowledge. I will do more studying on how to get the syrup like you both did and then turn it into sugar for me and my children. First I need maple trees 😂. I would love more information about this project if you are both willing to teach me. Or do more videos on this subject 🙏🏼😁. Again thank you both…😁
Great video guys!! I can’t wait to try this with my grand kids! They will be amazed!!👍👍
Awesome!
