My little sister thought of this one, and I promised her I would suggest it somehow. What would need to be added to the game? certain trees that are designated to produce sap (I don't think they would have to be too rare, as there are a lot of "nerfs" that I talk about below) a tap, and potentially some way to fix it or build another one a container similar to the Unpotable Water container where the sap would be put in the player's inventory. They would not need to make a container for the syrup, as there is already jars of syrup the player can find. From some very quick (possibly unreliable) research, I found that it takes about 24 hours of cooking for sap to become syrup, so the amount of firewood would be immense. It also said that 50 gallons of sap turns into 1 gallon of syrup. On Wikipedia I read that "Most trees can produce 20 to 60 litres (5 to 15 US gallons) of sap per season." That means that if 3 trees produced 15 gallons of sap each over 60 game days, the player would almost have 1 gallon of syrup left after boiling. It might throw the balance of the game off, but if anything, it would make a sweet challenge where the player is tasked with making a giant syrup plantation!
