The first step will be finding a suitable maple tree. The tree should be at least 10 inches in diameter. For every extra foot of diameter, you can drill another tap. A brace and bit is the traditional tool for tapping the tree, but you could also use a cordless drill, or if you can reach the tree with an extension cord, a power drill. Whichever tool you choose for boring the tap hole, be sure to use either a 7/16" or a 1/2" bit. The hole should be about 2.5" deep, and angled such that the sap can run downhill out of the tap.

Once the hole has been bored, lightly tap the tap into place (perhaps that's why it's called a ''tap''). There are several types of taps that you can use. A tap could be made by boring a hole in a round chunk of wood, and carving a notch in it to receive the bucket handle, or it could be any of several commercially available varieties. Some are designed to hold a bucket, and others are designed to connect to plastic tubing. If you can manage it, plastic tubing is a lot easier because multiple taps can be drained into a common container. This reduces the amount of labor involved, but it also requires that the tapped trees be located on a hillside so the sap will flow into the container, or it requires a pump (which requires power). Power is sometimes difficult to come by in the woods.

Once the tap is in place, the sap needs to be directed into a container. This is either a bucket hung directly on the tap, or some sort of container into which the tubing is routed. The bucket should then be covered to keep out the rain and debris.

A good tree can produce a gallon of sap per day, so once you've tapped the trees, you need to keep an eye on them. Empty the buckets into a larger container until you have at least 15-20 gallons of sap (that's how much you'll need to make 2 quarts of syrup). When you have enough sap, pour it into an evaporator. An evaporator is a large shallow pan (typically 36"x24"x6") situated over a fire. The fire is often built in a steel drum which has been adapted to this use (see photo). This process will take several hours, so you'll need to wait until you have an entire day to dedicate to the task. The labor intensive portion of this task is to keep the fire stoked. Once the sap has been reduced by a factor or 30-40, it can be transferred to jugs for storage.

The leaves of the maple tree are fairly distinct and easy to identify. Indeed, the maple leaf is the central motif of the Flag of Canada.

Unfortunately, collecting a maple leaf is generally not something that can be done when the sap is running. Maples drop their leaves in the fall. The first signs of green made by a maple tree in spring is when it flowers. The leaves come a little later. The bark, of course, presents no such problem, as it can be collected any time during the year.

1

Tener la especialidad de Azúcar de arce.


Para consejos e instrucciones, véase Azúcar de arce.


2

Hacer al menos cinco grifos y hervir al menos dos litros de jarabe.



3

Coleccionar una hoja y la corteza de dos arces.



4

Hacer una lista de dos usos del azúcar de arce que no sea azúcar de arce.

Maple wood makes good firewood. Maple wood has been used for lumber and especially for making flooring, wagons, and buildings. Furniture is its most important use. The beauty of the tree adds to the beauty of our out-of-doors. It also provides shade and cooling in the summer.

5

¿Qué es lo que se busca al colocar grifos en un árbol de arce?

Healthy trees, at least 10” in diameter with many branches. Tapping is best done on the east and south sides of trees where the sun warms it in the mornings and early afternoons.

6

¿Cuándo es el momento adecuado para colocar un grifo en un árbol de arce en la primavera?

When warm days are above freezing and nights are below.

7

Nombrar los cuatro arces que producen savia dulce.

There are approximately 19 varieties of maple trees. Some that produce sweet sap are:

  1. Sugar maple (Acer saccharum) - also known as hard maple or rock maple.
  2. Silver maple (Acer saccarinum)
  3. Red maple (Acer rubrum) - the second heaviest producer of syrup.
  4. Black maple (Acer nigrum)
  5. Ashed leaf (box elder) maple (Acer negundo)

An additional ornamental maple tree that also produces good syrup is:

  • Norway maple (Acer platanoides) - stems exude a milky fluid when squeezed or when leaves plucked.

8

¿Cuál es el tamaño de la broca (mecha)? (dos tamaños)

Use a 7/16 or 1/2 inch bit to drill for the spigots. I would recommend the 7/16 inch size.

9

¿Cómo se puede estropear la savia y cómo es como la leche?

It may spoil if the sap is not kept cool or if it is kept too long before boiling it down. Spoiled sap has a slightly milky appearance. If boiled down it has a very dark appearance.

10

¿Cuál es la leyenda del azúcar de arce?

One story is that an Indian warrior threw his tomahawk into a maple tree on a spring morning and “sweet juice” began to flow down his tomahawk, and he caught it in his hand and drank it and found it good.

Another story is of an Indian maiden who left her pottery jar at the base of a maple tree. When she returned, her pottery jar was filled with sap due to a crack in the tree.

Most likely though is that the Indians observed insects at the sap and tried it for that reason.

11

Para hacer un litro de jarabe, ¿cuántos litros de savia se necesita?

It takes 30 - 40 quarts of sap to make one quart of syrup.

12

¿Cómo se puede saber si el jarabe está listo o cerca de estarlo durante la ebullición sin un termómetro o hidrómetro?

When boiling is started the sap looks like boiling water. As the water is boiled off the color gets darker slowly. As the sap gets close to the syrup point the bubbles get smaller. At this point the syrup tends to rise up and boil over.

Another indication is the consistency. At the syrup stage, the liquid comes off a spatula in small gooey sheets rather than drops.

With a candy thermometer, the syrup is ready when the temperature is 7° F. above the boiling point of water at your elevation. (The boiling point of water drops 1° F. for every 550 feet increase in elevation above sea level.)

13

¿Cómo los primeros colonos se familiarizaron con el azúcar de arce?

Maple sugaring was introduced to the early settlers by the North American Indians.

14

Visitar doscentros de operaciones de azúcar de arce.

Though some sugar houses include tours of their operation, they may charge for this. If this is not a concern, go ahead and make arrangements. If you ask nicely, or if you know someone who makes syrup on a small scale, you may be able to get a tour for free (especially if your group is willing to pitch in for a half day to keep the fires going or help collect the sap).

15

Usar tres recetas y mostrarlos al momento de la Investidura.

Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Recipes/Butternut Squash

Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Recipes/Hot Apple Cider

16

Hacer una libra (500 gramos) de dulce de azúcar de arce y explicar cómo se hizo.

If you continue boiling the syrup until the temperature reaches 30o to 33o F. above the boiling point of water (e.g. 241o to 244o F. in Michigan) and then stir the syrup vigorously it will start to crystallize. At this point you put it into whatever molds or containers you wish before it hardens too much in the pan.

17

¿Cuál es la cera de arce en la nieve

It is made by pouring hot syrup onto snow. As it cools it makes a delicious treat.

18

Cuando la savia es de color amarillo y/o hay polillas en los cubos, ¿qué significa esto por lo general?

Time to quit for the year. The sap will produce a dark syrup of a low grade.
