sugarmaking
Refining cane crystals
Sugarmaking is the process of producing sugar, particularly from sugarcane or sugar beets.
The term often refers specifically to the traditional craft of boiling maple sap into syrup and sugar: The sugarmaking season begins when nights are cold and days are warm.
A sugarmaker tends a sugar house or sugar shack during the spring harvest.
