Yesterday we headed down the road a piece to Sand Road Sugar Camp to see them making maple syrup.
One of my favourite things of all time is when they boil up the syrup to make taffy and pour it on the snow so that it can be rolled up on a wooden stick.
It tastes like warm maple-flavoured caramel!
Meanwhile, indoors we sampled the all-you-can eat breakfast including pancakes, eggs, ham, beans and all the maple syrup you can pour. The bacon was called "oreilles de crisse," apparently "green bacon" which is very thick and very crisp and unlike anything I've ever tasted.
There were horse wagon rides through the sugar bush...
...instead we walked one of the many trails that runs through the property. About 8C, warmish, and all the snow is melting fast so it seemed like our last chance to be out in it. A perfect day.
What a good day you had Ronna! Everything looks delicious. You are losing your snow very fast too just like us.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, and delicious too! I especially like the last photo. It looks like some of your drawings.
