Sugaring Off- An Ashley/ Strunk Family Tradition

Nathan's family has a long time family tradition of sugaring off at the last snow fall of the year. So for the first (and maybe the last) in NC we decided to sugar off.
To sugar off you boil real maple syrup down. When it is the right consistency, you pour it over snow. It cools quickly and turns into a chewy maple candy. It is also called Jack Wax. It was delicious and everyone had fun! We were glad to carry the tradition on in NC!
