Flapjacks, the Bobtop, and maple syrup







Well, yesterday morning was a first for us. We cooked homemade whole wheat blueberry pancakes on top of our Sedore stove. We have a custom made top on our Sedore that we call the Bobtop. It is a stainless steel top over the whole length of the stove. Today was the first that we really used it to make the pancakes. We had the stovetop up to about 350 F and those cakes cooked in good time; we were able to cook about 6-8 at a time on the top of the stove too.





Last week we did some old time maple sugaring. Some good friends of ours tapped about 8 maple trees on their property. We were involved to help tap the trees and went out to help boil down some sap as well. They went to Florida for 6 days and asked if we would like to tend the sap. So we did and one day we hit it good. We got 7-8 gallons of sap which boiled down to 1 quart of maple syrup. Yesterday we enjoyed that on our flapjacks. And it was good!!!
