= na me af PA THEN HE SR TIE 10 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 13, 1990 Maple sap is flowing at Purple Woods Conser The Maple Syrup Demonstra- tion program at Purple Woods Conservation Area continues with weekend tours for public and community groups. Visitors will have an opportunity to see all aspects of syrup production on tours led by Authority staff, in- cluding Indian and pioneer methods. Sap is collected in metal buckets and also by pipeline, us- ing a vacuum pump. The sap is 'boiled down in a wood-fired evaporator at the sugar shack. For final heating, a finishing pan is used. Since propane is used at this stage, the temperature of the finishing pan can be finely con- trolled to produce the best quali- ty syrup. After checking for den- sity, colour and grade, the syrup is packaged for sale. Community groups are en- couraged to schedule -weekend tours. Special arrangements can be made for disabled groups, in- cluding some weekday openings. All groups must contact the Authority office for reservations. Weekend tours will meet at the parking lot at 11:00 A.M., 1:00 P.M. and 2:30 P.M. Maple pro- ducts, including syrup, butter and sugar, will be available for sale. Also available this year is cook- ing syrup and recipe books, while they last. Tours will be available on the weekends of March 10 and 11; 17 and 18; and 24 and 25. The annual pancake weekend will be held in co-operation with the Durham A.M. Kiwanis Club on March 31 and April 1.
