Comments: The process of turning one thousand gallons of maple sap into fifty gallons of syrup
Lot of people around here do it. We have a lot of sugar maples on our property and I looked into but couldn't justify the cost for hobby purposes. Just not a big maple syrup fan.

A wonderful and fascinating process, unfortunately recounted in a virtually unreadable fashion.
And besides that, "its."

Makes me wonder whether maple syrup is approved by vegans. After all, since they even have problems with honey, I can easily imagine a militant vegan deciding that draining the sap from a tree is cruel and harmful to the tree. It's one thing to pluck a piece of fruit from a tree, since the fruit is going to fall sometime anyway, but the sap is the life's blood of a tree.
Well, I'm not going to overthink it. That maple syrup is mighty tasty on my extra-cruelty raised bacon.
