Will have to try that wine! :) I have canned it, but then was told by the extension service that botulism can grow. I don't put too much stock in what the extension service says, and always check it out, but the woman said she check with birch sap producers here in Alaska to find out if canning was possible, and she was just passing along their info to me. <br /><br />I wonder if I could add citric acid alone to it prior to canning. It would still lose many of the healing properties, but at least the minerals would still be there. I suppose it would taste more like lemon juice, but that would be fine. Just thinking out loud.<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />JennyThe Last Frontierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926531865449342446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237920497137752581.post-26255432262131681692011-03-12T21:34:40.656-09:002011-03-12T21:34:40.656-09:00about Russians bottling the sap - they add sugar a...about Russians bottling the sap - they add sugar and citric acid to it,and pasteurise it. What is being sold in 3-litre jars is very different from you collect from the tree. You can boil the sap and put is in sterile jars just as you would do with any home canning, but the problem is - during boiling birch sap (juice) will lose some of its healing properties. Freezing it is better idiea.

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, people who ...Hi April. Thanks for stopping by. Yes, people who tap lots of trees and make syrup to sell do that. <br />The sap can be frozen. If we had a propane freezer to run during the warm months, we'd certainly tap more trees and do that. I canned it one year, but then was told by the extension service. Normally, I question anything the extension service says, but they got their information from a man who produces quite a bit of birch syrup.The Last Frontierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926531865449342446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237920497137752581.post-24671979830388798442011-01-16T12:26:18.938-09:002011-01-16T12:26:18.938-09:00Can you freeze the sap?
