The Making of Maple Sugar Festival

Collecting maple sap is not difficult. A hole is drilled in the trunk of the maple tree, a plastic or metal plug is inserted, and a plastic conduit is connected, and the maple sap flows into the storage tank. Maple sap can only be collected from maple trees that are over 50 years old. Drilling holes is also very particular. The depth should not exceed 75 millimeters, the diameter should be less than 12 millimeters, and it should be slightly upward. The holes should be re-drilled in another location next year, and the original holes cannot be used. ; The annual sap extraction should be controlled at about 10. "This is done to protect the maple trees, because the sap is like human blood. Drawing too much sap or drilling holes accidentally will damage the trees.

During the festival, locals gather in antique production workshops , the sugar maker pours the edible maple sugar made from maple juice into a large pot and heats it, uses a special spoon to scoop up the hot sugar water, pours it on the white snow, mixes the hot and cold, and instantly condenses into a cake shape.
