Sweet Maple: Backyard Sugarmaking from Tap to Table by Michelle Visser (Guilford, Conn. : Lyons Press, 2019)

Local author Michelle Visser is a homesteader in New Hampshire’s lakes region.

"Did you know that there are nearly two dozen [types of] tappable trees across the United States? Chances are you have at least one in your very own backyard. Want to bring more healthy food and sustainability into your life? In Sweet Maple, sugarmaker Michelle Visser and her family guide you through every step of all-natural syrup production--with directions for tapping one tree or dozens. In addition to sugaring techniques, tips from sugar shacks, and fun stories of multi-generational family operations, she shares many of her own family's tried-and-true maple recipes while detailing the life-changing benefits of using maple products in place of refined sugar in the kitchen. Join Michelle on her family's sweet journey, from tap to table." --Publisher's blurb
