I have always loved real Maple Syrup and being here in Vermont allowed me the opportunity to have the "Sugaring" experience for myself. Our neighbor let me tap two of his sugar maple trees when it warmed up enough to get the sap running. I used a sap bucket and lid we bought at the Morse Sugarhouse last fall and another bucket and lid that the Jensens had bought. I just used milk jugs for the two taps I put in the second tree.
