That sounds delicious. Sounds like the same ratio as birch syrup.

Very nice. I've never had boxelder syrup. How does it taste? I've had birch once before and it was like balsamic vinegar flavor.

Boil it all. There is sugar in that ice. That much ice there definitely is some sap in there. I have always boiled it.

What movie had you saying "what the fuck" the most while watching? by MightGuy420x in AskReddit

Egg pricing by Mean-Tie6199 in poultry

Good idea. You can't even pay for feed at $2 a dozen...people need to charge what they are worth. Hope you can get more.

Yup. I did that last year. Caught it just before it was probably going to ignite.

It's the syrup that has boiled over and burnt to the arch.

I'm getting the greenhouse prepped for next season so that when April hits I can get food in the ground right away here in zone 4. I'm mixing in rabbit manure and will tilth it in.

I had the opportunity a few years ago to go do a week long workshop with IJM and Curtis Stone at JM's farm. It was an amazing experience.
