Unfortunately for for birch it needs to be concentrated to 1% unlike Maple/Sycamores 5%

I believe most fruit and nut trees are tapable too but again are around 1% concentration.

Hickory and Alder are other tapable trees.

Obviously confers of all kinds can be tapped, but that would be for resin rather than syrup.

I'll tap my Japanese Maple Bonsai and see what I get

You know you can tap a silver birch for a clear sweet syrup. Saw that on Ray Mears.

I buy a very decent grade A maple from Costco for ?10 per ltr. I promise you its good gear, I used to buy that Buckwood stuff but switch over. Very good and not blended crap.

I was about to say this, when I plan ahead that's pretty much what I do.... Other times I just buy the small expensive bottles on impulse.

Aldi do a decent blended maple syrup of you don't want a giant bottle.

(I do want a giant bottle but space is limited and the other half doesn't like it so...)

Yeah I was disappointed when I finally read the bottle to find most of it is blended

I have to say I have knowingly bought the blended stuff before. It pretty OK considering.

Yeah. That's what we get, too. The locals know just to get it from small places too. Not the bleeding impossibly expensive tourist bottle prices

No bacon in the house? I didn't even think that was feasible?!

I have my bacon ready for sunday ritual of a big brekkie

How much in a bottle? If it's 250cc, that's standard. It's what the yanks pay
