I LOVED this book! It told in first person story format how the write made maple syrup from BEFORE the season all the way til after. Then, it told how the indians had made it and the pioneers. Hasn't changed much at all. Then, there was also easy to follow instructions. Can't wait to try someday!

Sugartime combines the romance and poetry of this outdoor activity with incerted sections that answer basic questions for the novice.The author tells the story of how she (and her husband?) have been drawing and boiling down maple syrup from their 22 trees in the back yard over the past 20+? years.This book answered most of my basic questions about sugaring, but some more questions were raised as I finished the book.Overall it has been very helpful in getting started.
Great

Sugartime: The Hidden Pleasures of Making Maple Syrup with a primer for the Novice Sugarer by Susan Carol Hauser is written in such a way that as the author describes her personal account with sugaring, it is easy for the reader to absorb practical knowledge. I was able to acquire some insight into the process of sugaring, even though I have never done it before. This book is inspirational for those who feel a nostalgia for the country, practical for those who would like to learn more about amateur sugaring. This is not a comprehensive or technical work, but, rather is an interesting introduction to maple sugaring. The book includes some recipes and nostalgic pictures.
