At 9 dollars for a flip lid, I think I will pass on that! Bit expensive for just a lid. Thank you for the video. Syrup season is fast approaching and I was looking for ideas to use up some syrup! I have made maple butter/cream, and that is amazing. Found that recipe a few years ago on youtube. I'm going to check out your book and see if it's something I can use.
Maple cream is divine. ❤️ As for the lid, I LOVE them. So much so that I have purchased three four-packs over the years and use them to store many of my loose leaf teas, as well as so many staples from rice to sugar to taco seasoning. I totally get it if it's not your cup of tea, so to speak, 😊 but I love supporting small business and I love that these are 100% American-made and supporting a wonderful small company.
We've been making maple syrup for a few seasons now and just made Maple sugar candy for the first time last year. Hoping to invest in a sugar shack and evaporator in the near future. Right now I am using 4 large metal pans that hold about 12 gallons each. Thanks for the info! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
It's my pleasure. And a very Merry Christmas to you!! btw, can you believe it? We STILL don't have a sugar shack OR an evaporator. We make 14 gallons of syrup a year (give or take) using propane tanks and large pans. Maybe next year... (of course we've been saying that for 3 years already)...
@@MichelleVisser Whoa... propane? That must get very expensive! No? I'm a welder for a company that mades food grade products. Because of these connections, I was able to make the large pans the I use each year over an open fire. We freeze our butts off, but It still works great, and people swear that the open fire makes our syrup taste amazing. (I think so too - I think that it is also the fact that the sap has to boil longer than someone that uses a reverse osmosis machine) Our neighbor has an evaporator and we may be doing a collaboration this year to see how that works out. Thanks again!
@@CelticRootsFarm whoa! You DON'T RO your sap? now that must get very expensive! Even if the fuel (your wood) is free, it sure does save a whole lot of time to RO, and some pretty intense scientific studies have shown the taste is not impacted.
Can you tell me, when you get done boiling your sap while making Maple Syrup, do you check how many brics your finished product is? If so, can you tell me what that number is? Thank you for your time, John.
It needs to be 66 brix. I use a refractometer to measure that. This video shows you more about that: th-cam.com/video/n1Ry1syd81k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jvBk03qBpRxnkVfx
@@canadianeastcoastdabbingcr2168 oh, got ya. I don't know the conversion rate to US dollars? How does that compare to when I buy a gallon for $50 US dollars?
@@canadianeastcoastdabbingcr2168 okay, well, if it makes you feel any better I've only found this great price in one place; most are a good bit higher. :)

What about if you wants to make a small batch is it same degrees 244?
yep, batch size doesn't matter
Can you use butter if you don't have oil spray?
sure that should be fine
50 BUCKS A GALLON ON MY END
I'm not understanding?
I pay 50 Canadian dollars for gallon of Maplesyrup
@@canadianeastcoastdabbingcr2168 oh, got ya. I don't know the conversion rate to US dollars? How does that compare to when I buy a gallon for $50 US dollars?
Think it would be like 13 dollars cheaper for you with usa dollars
