A Westfield celebration will invite the public into a local sugar bush, and here, they can learn how syrup makes the journey to our tables.
Miller-Corey House Museum will offer a glimpse into the process of how maple syrup and sugar are made, and the attendees can even learn about other maple-based products, such as maple cream and butter. While no trees will actually be tapped during the session, the group will still discover how the spigots are driven into the trees to harvest the sugar maple sap, and after this, they will find out more about the next step in processing the collected liquid.
After discussing the tree-tapping process, the presenter will discuss how the sap is boiled down to remove much of its water content. The learners will find out how the sap can be removed once it has reached the proper consistency for syrup or allowed to continue to boil until maple sugar crystals form. They will also have an opportunity to observe colonial cookery techniques.
A brochure printing company can prepare printed Copies of the recipes that will be demonstrated during a historically themed event of this type, and these can be given to each guest before they leave for home.
Westfield’s Miller-Cory House Museum will be hosting this celebration of the maple sap harvesting season on March 22. Admission is open for adults and kids alike.
