How to Make Maple Syrup in Stardew Valley

Making Maple Syrup in Stardew Valley requires a Tapper. For a Tapper, you'll need these ingredients:

• 40x Wood
• 2x Copper Bars

You'll also need to achieve a Level 3 in the Foraging skill before you're able to craft the Tapper.

Now that you have your Tapper in hand approach a Maple Tree and attach the Tapper from your inventory. You'll need to wait for a little over a week - 9 days - but after this time ends, you'll have 1x Maple Syrup in your inventory that you can use for any recipes you like.

If you're in late-game Stardew Valley - once you've completed the Community Center and also successfully fixed Willy's boat - you can buy the Heavy Tapper from Mr. Qi on Ginger Island in return for 20x Qi gems. This will allow you to produce double the Maple Syrup from each tree, meaning you'll get 2x Maple Syrup every nine days instead of just one.
