real maple syrup

If you make mush, it will stick in the sauce pan and seem impossible to clean.  Don't panic!  Scrape what you can off then put a dab of soap and fill it with hot water.  Let that soak an hour and it'll come right off.

have some non stick pots that clean up easy and when they are stubborn, soap & hot water soaking overnight always works 

those pictures are good…think they are thinner than I pictured, gives me an idea what they should look like….

frying in butter sounds simple….like even something I can dooooooooooo 😁😁
