Into the woods by 5:30 AM. Washed the syrup pan. Had to add raw sap to the evaporator because it got too low after the last session cooking. It took 2 \u00bc hours to get the first batch of the day because of the raw sap. After that there were batches every 45 minutes or less several times. A good day cooking with 7 batches into the milk can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
