{drool, drool, mouthwatering just looking!} maple syrup in the UK is such a luxury – £5+ for a small bottle. So I guess it would have to be pancakes as they only happen once a year too! (how is that ‘favourites’ are such a rarity in day to day life – it’s not as if pancakes are expensive or difficult to make ;o)

Some of it was boiled in the house, some of it outside. If I use my big waterbath canner on my back burner and turn the oven vent on it keeps the moisture from building up in the house. And it helps heat the house. On days when the sap was flowing well, we boiled outside as well to keep up with it.

Our season in Michigan was short too. Last year we got a warm spell that I thought ended our season, but it got cold again and the sap started flowing a second time.
Your syrup is beautiful. Do you boil it down in the house?

No worries, I often correct misspellings when I see them :)

Thanks Charlotte! Buttermilk pancakes sound sooooo good. I’m making butter tomorrow so I’ll have fresh buttermilk and fresh butter – HM.
