Video: How to Make Maple Syrup

by Jaime McLeod | Tuesday, April 26th, 2011 | From: Blog

The Farmers Almanac recently spent the day at A Wrinkle in Thyme Farm in Sumner, Maine, learning about how to make maple syrup.

Special thanks to farmers Mary Ann Haxton and Marty Elkin for sharing their knowledge and the beauty of their farm.

And if this makes your hungry, swing on over to our online store and pick up some real Maine maple syrup.

(Please excuse the wind noise early in the interview. It can get gusty here in Maine on an April afternoon, but the noise passes in a few seconds.)

Alyssa,
Yes. It works. You can do small batches in a pan in your kitchen just the same as larger batches with this big equipment.

OK does that really work?

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
