Maple syrup is prepared from the sugar maple tree. It is a procedure that involves several steps. The sap has to be collected, boiled and prepared for distribution.
Firstly, the sap has to be collected from the sugar maple tree. This is done by creating holes in the trees or by tapping them and then connecting plastic tubes to the holes. Next, these plastic tubes from each group of trees are placed into a collecting tank. The sap drips through the plastic tubes and collects in the tank over a period of several days. After enough sap is accumulated, it is transported in tanks to the evaporator present in the sugar house. The sap is boiled until it reaches the syrup stage. A lot of sap is required to to be boiled since 40 gallons of sap make one gallon of maple syrup.
Further, the syrup is put is bottled into cans and then labelled. These are then delivered to the distributor for sale.
