It’s maple sap season in the Catskills!
My dear husband is crazy about making maple syrup. I actually don’t care for real maple syrup unless it’s ‘first run’, the first you harvest in February when it’s very sweet and light.
Yummy on Belgian waffles – a lovely late winter Catskill brunch.
It’s more like a watery ‘drizzle’ than syrup.
But I am CRAZY for the soft maple candies my love makes!
It takes roughly three days of sap collection in seven buckets per day to get 20 little candies.
But so worth it!
Until next time, stay shabby!

How exciting Sandy! Real maple syrup from your very own trees! Shows you how ignorant I am, I never imagined it came from anywhere but Canada ;)
WOW it really takes a lot of syrup for that little amount of candy.. NO wonder maple syrup is so expensive. I always love your post, because i get to come over and visit and see all your lovely things.. Sheila

You guys are as sweet as maple candy!
And yes, Norma, we tap maple trees in the northeastern U.S., too! I'll never see a kangaroo in my garden, though, so don't grieve!
I love you blog especially your Studio, I am amazed your husband makes syrup and candy. Do you sell any/ if so I would not mine if you put me on the list to order some, this would make great gifts, or just gifts for personal use. I would like to taste both Syrup and candy that be a great treat.
Hugs,

No wonder they say good things come in small packages. The candies look delicious!
You have a beautiful blog... The little shack? your studio? is magical!
Ooh these candies look SO good...I love a drizzle of maple syrup on steel cut oats!
Great post. Sooooooooooo much syrup for just 20 candies? Who would have thought. Your blog is looking so GREAT! I can tell you have really been working on it! LOVE the way it is turning out. And so happy that I can leave you comments now. I remember when I first found you I couldn't even communicate with you. WOW you ROCK now. And the photos of the studio makes me so jealous. Is it warm in all that snow? Does it have a fireplace. Have a wonderful day. HUGS! CHarlene
