We make 3-4 gallons of syrup a year. For each batch of 30-40 gallons of sap, we boil it on a wood fire outdoors until it's reduced to 3-4 gallons, then reduce it on the stove to 3-4 quarts of syrup. During the indoor boiling I skim off any white stuff that boils up, using a large "gold" coffee filter. When my digital thrmometer says it's 7 degrees above the temp of the water boiling on the same stove (not necessarily 212!), I filter it through a cloth syrup cone. And there's still some cloudiness in the bottom of the bottles. Any hints?
