Why do you want it gone?

It's maple sap. Very watery right out the tree

You start at 2% sugar and boil until 30%, usually boiling away 97% of it. 30gal of sap makes 1 gal of syrup.

Can you boil in a vacuum? That will lower the boil temp and speed the process.

Didn't think it was so liquidy before processing.

It varies but as it boils you know things get more liquid ish.

Suppose so. Just never boiled anything thicker than some soup.

Haha fair. If you do... Do it outside. The sap will coat every surface if you do it inside.

I tried boiling water for an hour to make it more concentrated, but I didn't notice a change in taste or texture. Maybe I had a bad recipe.

Or it was just stale water.

I bought it from an organic shop, so I just assumed it was fresh.

You have to buy artisan water from gwyneth paltrow to get the right taste and texture.

Do you think boiling the water might destroy its homeopathic benefits?

I lie, it’ll be shrimp, as I don’t have crawfish in my freezer, but I regularly grill raw shrimp on the bbq.
