hello everyone welcome to Jones Act survival on this video here we're gonna go step by step and we're gonna make maple syrup into sugar if you guys watched I had another video posted where I failed at it and ended up making it into candy that one they're showing all the boiling process and everything this year I've done so many videos boxelder syrup maple syrup birch syrup and they're trying to make the maple sugar this one works real well you'll know exactly how to do it when this is done what I did is I kept out the part where I'm boiling boiling boiling for three days if you need to know how to boil the SAP you can go back and watch one of the other videos this one here starts up right when it's rendered down into a syrup like state and then from there we take a sugar there's a boiling down to the bottom mouth now it's just gonna be to render it down and try to make it into sugar this time we're not gonna use any thermometers nothing just gonna go all the way down keep the liquid out of it and crush it up into sure I have gotten down to I've got this one cup bullet filled up here I've got probably a cup and a half of syrup that I boiled down this is maple and I'm just gonna pour a little bit when I do it and I'm just gonna do little bits at a time like that so if I screw it up I have another chance at it so I'm just gonna heat this up now and just get all of the water out of it and it has this goes they'll just reduce and reduce and reduce after I failed at this last time I went on and did a lot of reading on how to make the sugar I mean I thought I had it in my mind already last time I took into account all the comments and the help which I appreciate watched a bunch of movies on it or videos on this and I just hope this works you can really see that that moisture is coming out and I turned it down ahead of time well six out of ten on my stole before and now I got it down to four probably turn it down a little bit more in a little bit here so it doesn't burn but you can really see it starting to trail across like that okay so now the consistency is drastically changing amazing just continually mixing it like this to keep it from burning don't get that moisture out of it I decided to do this the first time here with a Teflon pan if this works good I'm going to do it several times it's Teflon but then I want to also try it using a cast iron look at that a little bit wider wouldn't be so I can kind of crush it up because it's getting kind of crumbly it almost is like brown sugar now kind of a damp brown sugar as I keep mixing this now I'll pull it off the heat a little bit and do it - it's getting crumbly but you can see that like the Wet Ones stick to these the dry ones stick to the ones anyway when I crunched them they seemed to be a little bit lighter in color so it's really getting real dry feeling now and actually going to transfer it into this pan just so I can kind of crush it up without burning it I'll probably have to return it to the other pan but okay so they kind of see what we have feels real dry and everything I'm going to spread this out on a paper plate so see if it'll dry anymore and I'm gonna do the next batch but this batch I'm going to do in a cast iron pan where I've got a little bit more surface area there see how that goes okay so doing it in the cast-iron pan over here which I have to crush up a little bit more yet gave me a lighter sugar and it did in the other pan and I think it's because I pulled it off the heat faster it's now I'm gonna do it in Teflon like I did this one but then pull it off the heat right when that bubbles up and then it when it kind of changes its consistency I'll pull it off and I'll mix it in there okay we can see us starting to trail again when I run this through we're getting closer okay so now you can see it's kind of getting mounted like that see that how it just completely changed the drop sell it it immediately turns into like sugar you can see that and that's what we want just like that see that's much lighter color than that first batch we did okay so these three I still have a batch going right now that last one we did was the best so I'm thinking that this one over here I think we got a little toasted it doesn't really have a burnt taste but I don't know you wouldn't know I'm gonna mix them all together but of all three of them this is the highest grade one so I'm gonna do it just like this okay so we're doing this one the same way see if we can get two batches the same I put a little bit more on you there's maybe I don't know a third of a fifth in this one instead of a quarter okay there you can see now we're getting consistent this one is that batch we just did that's the one before it that's that first one that got kind of toasted and this one's a different color but that one was done in cast iron okay everyone so there we have it about a cup and a quarter of maple syrup gave us baby cup and a half a little more than cup and a half of maple sugar I mean by sealing it and putting the oxygen absorber in there I'm hoping that it won't clump together like sugar will do sometimes so we'll see anyway finally success that's how you make maple sugar thanks a lot for watching the Jones Act survival Channel
