refine peach sap

I have an orchard and have been harvesting peach sap from the base of old trees. Some chunks are perfect "drops", others are contaminated with other organic material.

I've tried to refine this "amber" by boiling in water, but it will not disolve the sap, I've also tried alcohol, with even less results.

What could be used to refine this sap and produce a purer substance.

Thanks,

Nick

I have no idea, but it sounds like a cool idea! If you work it out, I'd love to see the results.

Amber is not refined sap, it's fossilized sap. Synthetic amber is supposed to be resin mixed with real amber but maybe there is melting involved there somewhere, and/or sap. Copal is incense made from granulated dried pine sap, it's great stuff. Maybe you should burn some on charcoal and see if it has a nice scent?

...Oh and Frankincense is also a sap/tree resin, it's drilled and made into beads after it's very dried. The beads can be worn and they have a nice scent to them.
