In Town and Out

Making your own maple syrup sounds easy when Scott Duego of Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush describes it, “You boil and boil and boil and boil . . . ” But I know from experience that it isn’t quite that simple.  Fulton’s had their first Backyard Sugar Makers’ Workshop this past weekend, and I went ahead to meet with Shirley Fulton-Duego and Scott Duego for a crash course on DIY maple syrup making.

This story aired on Saturday, February 15, 2013 on CBC’s In Town and Out.
