Cassie Menchhofer on Maple Syrup math-So much to make so little Episode 71

What is 40:1 and worth every penny?  Maple syrup, of course.

Maple syrup is about as simple as a product gets.  Get the sugar maple sap in the spring, boil it down until it is a syrup.

40 to 60 gallons of sap for every gallon of syrup.

In the words of Captain Smek, that’s a lot of sap, Tony.  But the getting of the sap is the easy part.  There’s the felling, cutting, splitting and hauling and stacking of the wood.  Tending the fire and filling the pan add to a easy to do but highly labor intensive process.

But, one taste is all it takes to know the real deal from the junk.
