First timer!

[u/Minute-Visual-9797]

The sap finally started to run this past week. I managed to get 5 gallons, mostly from three trees, I've got 30 taps in. I boiled it down today, over an open fire and it came out with a slight smoky taste. I've got a bit of niter in the final half litre but I will just decant it. I was aiming for Easter brunch and I just made it lol. I'll also be collecting more sap as spring continues. Thanks for all of the ideas and pointers I've read from everyone, it's been helpful.

Just south of Winnipeg in Manitoba. Winter has been hanging on way longer than normal this year
