Can we get a TBH Express from Bloomfield,Iowa to Texas. I’d love to try real syrup without all of the additives.

I have a friend from Erie Pennsylvania whose family farms Maple. It’s is unbelievably different and you will not want to go back to the store stuff again.

I’ve been trying to get family in Union County to do the same. I brought it up during both pheasant and deer seasons last year.

Getting everything ready for this weekend in Minnesota. We started out tapping a couple maples in our yard when the kids were babies. We’re up to 75-100 taps now. It’s still a hobby, but it’s getting out of hand.
Fresh maple syrup or maple sugar on vanilla Blue bell, best dessert there is.

Charlie. Yes. You can make Shagbark Hickory syrup. It is a different process. You don't tap the tree for sap. It is made by boiling the bark. I have not tried it but I have heard it is good. It is a real pretty golden light colored syrup.

You can make syrup from about 30 different varieties of trees. Birch and Ironwood are a couple.

Here is some info on Shagbark Hickory syrup.

Well I'll be!! Now that is just plain cool! We used to pick up "scalybark hickory nuts and pick them out so my mom could make fruit cakes for Christmas and use them in lieu of pecans... Absolutely the best fruit cakes we ever had!! Their nuts are bigger and have a thinner, easier to crack shell than the regular smooth bark/hill hickory. Never crossed my mind to make syrup from the bark! Never even heard of it for that matter!

We can probably make that happen.[emoji106]

Maaaan I would love to have some of that!! Never had real syrup like that.

I plan on tapping my sugar berry trees (Southern Hackberry) here in TX. Should be interesting.

Curious to know the outcome. We have a few hackberries in our backyard. The only reason we don’t cut those awful trees down is due to the shade they provide.

Watch this video. I learned how to make Black Walnut syrup here.

Cooking down some Black Walnut sap today. Still have a ways to go. All my sap at the trees was frozen solid this morning, but it got up close to 60 degrees today.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope try it someday.

Supercool
Bet that would taste great in a crispy waffle!

Final cook down on this batch. Got to get it to 217 degrees and it will be syrup.
