THIS UNIQUE CREEK HOMESTEAD LISTING IS FOR OUR PURE MAPLE SYRUP STRAIGHT FROM OUR SUGAR BUSH AND SUGAR SHACK, TO YOUR HOME!
_________________________________________________________

Our delicious maple syrup is made right here on our southern Indiana homestead in Jackson county. We are located in the county corner just a couple of miles from beautiful Brown county and Bartholomew county lines with the Hoosier National Forest bordering the back acres of our property. Maple syrup making is a SLOW and time-consuming process, taking 40-50 gallons of sap slowly collected from Maple trees one drip at a time! The sap is collected in food-grade quality storage containers using sterile tubing and metal taps, then brought up to our sugar shack where it is filtered into boiling pans, boiled down over a hot wood fire for 70-100 hours over a 3-4 day period, boiling down to a delicious sugary concentrate. The final step is to filter again and finish up inside on a sterile kitchen stovetop where it is boiled down for another 2-4 hours depending on sugar content. The syrup is checked with candy thermometers for correct boiling temperatures then checked for accurate Brix sugar content using a Hydrometer cup and hydrometer as well as a TRZ Refractometer. Once we hit the magic numbers the sweet syrup is immediately bottled, turned upside down for a heated seal, then dipped into a hot wax for a double-seal, ensuring that our maple syrup will remain as fresh as the day it was bottled up!

BOTTLE SIZES IN FIRST IMAGE: 8-oz flask style bottle, 16.9-oz flask style bottle, 16.9-oz fancy embossed round bottle (bottles alone cost me $11.00 each so they are higher priced)

Shipping: These glass bottles full of thick delicious syrup are HEAVY and cost quite a bit to ship safely in small boxes, shipping is "FREE" but please keep in mind how expensive shipping and bottle costs are, as well as how much time is involved, how much expensive equipment and more, all used in creating our syrup when viewing prices.
