It is close to being spring and the pails are hanging from the maple trees dripping sap to boil down for maple syrup. In cold climates, these trees store starch in their trunks and roots before the winter; the starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring. Maple trees can be tapped by boring holes into their trunks and collecting the exuded sap. The sap is processed by heating to evaporate much of the water, leaving the concentrated syrup. Everyone had a sugar shack in their woods, sadly, it has became a tradition of the past.Everyone boiled sap for maple syrup for their pancakes and baking needs. Not for Scott Bancroft of Riley township and Joe Vancort they have kept the tradition alive with their make shift sap boiling stove in his garage.
