Thanks for the ideas. I have harvested about 16 gallons of sap from 10 trees this season. I tapped 10 but only 9 have produced sap. We reduced the sap down to about 28 ounces of syrup. It tastes fantastic! Sweet with just a slight hint of nut (all my trees are black walnut). Sap season ends with the bud break, so I should be wrapping up soon. Next season I will start in January with more trees. I will build an arch to boil the sap if I decide to go more than 20 trees (I have over 100 I could tap). Need to know if there is a market for walnut syrup. Otherwise it would be a family and friends type thing.
Imagine, honey in the summer and syrup in the winter.
