We run the syrup from our evaporator into a holding kettle. There it cools a little before we put it into the bottles. but it doesn't cool very much. We take it from the pan to the canning room where it is bottled immediately. We had no problem with the temperature. The caps for those bottles have a great seal in them too. Our county health dept. folks are really strict on things and they were very pleased with our containers.

We used them for the first time last October. They got lots of interest and we totally sold out of the syrup produced over the two day festival. We even had folks aasking if they could buy the empty bottles. We used both the quart and pint size.  John Brasher  Shelby Iron works Park  Shelby, Alabama    robert adams wrote:    Ken, I like the looks of those bottles. Are they glass?

It is a lot  easier to control the cooking when the syrup is 3 inches deep in a smaller pan.  My setup is a direct copy of a fellow who was the first person I saw making syrup.  he had been making syrup for over 50 years, and had helped his father before that.  If you will go to the page I made last year after my first cooking, you will see  a picture of the furnace down towards the bottom. The section in front of the  batch pan is where the finishing pan goes. It is set lower so the juice can be  run directly into the pan from the batch pan.  http://www.syrupmakers.com/october-02/ I know I have some other pictures of the setup, but will have to poke around  to locate them.  Take care.  Ken  ----- Original Message -----  From: "Glen Wilson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  To: "syrupmakers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 6:06 PM  Subject: (syrupmakers) Re:batch pan    >  > Ken  >  > Why do you use a finishing pan?  >  > Glen Wilson,  > Eureka, Kansas  For list archives, go to:  http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/                             [Sponsored by:]  _____________________________________________________________________________  Unlimited Usenet News Groups - $10/month  No Download Limits!
