The Silver Maple tree is FLOWING today. This is the actual speed it was dripping into the buckets. I’m so excited to be able to make another batch of syrup tomorrow. It’ll take all day to boil down the sap and when all is said and done, we will end up with about a pint or so. ❤️ .

Each winter I save the organic potatoes that begin to sprout before we get to them, and we plant them in our backyard garden in the spring. This year we’ve dedicated one bed to potatoes. They are my favorite thing to harvest in the fall with my husband and daughter because it’s like treasure-hunting. ❤️ #regrow .

Trying it see how many handfuls of these tender elm samaras I have to eat until I don’t like them anymore. The looks you get from civilians when you strip them off the branch and stuff them in your mouth is a fun bonus. #treefood #eatintrees #foraging #spring #mnspring #gorging #planteater #wildfoodlove

For the second year in a row, we tapped the silver maple tree in our backyard. Over the course of a few weeks, we collected over 50 gallons of sap, which boiled down to just a few quarts of delicious syrup. I water bath canned the syrup for long term shelf storage in hopes that we can stretch this yield throughout the year.
Maple syrup changes color throughout the season, as you can see here in this photo. The grade A is the lighter syrup and is considered to be the more desirable syrup, but the darker (grade B) has even more of a caramely maple flavor. ❤️ It's a lot of work to collect the sap, boil it down all day long and then can it, but it's so much better than anything I've ever purchased so if you have a maple tree in your yard, I urge you to give it a try next year!
We learned how to do the entire process from YouTube! .

Warmer Minnesota weather has got me craving some witbier!
.
Fortunately, @clockwerksbrewing located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis, has got a delicious option on tap with their “Clockwerk Orange Witbier.” .
.
The “Clockwerk Orange Witbier” has a cloudy, light yellow hue, with an intoxicating aroma of cloves and oranges! The flavor is slightly spiced with a light and refreshing orange zest finish! .
.
If you like witbiers head over to @clockwerksbrewing and give this one a try! .

Taproom Tidbit:
While the under 21 crowd has “build-a-bear” for entertainment, @clockwerksbrewing has “build-a-brew” for the amusement of those of us who are 21+!
.
Gather a group of 10-30 people for a two day brewing experience with the brewers @clockwerksbrewing! On the first day, groups will have the opportunity to create a five gallon batch of beer from the ingredients of their choice. 3-5 weeks later, groups return to the brewery to drink the beer they made! .
.
How cool is that? Anyone want to try “build-a-brew” with me?
