Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pure maple syrup
- 8 cups Fresh, clean snow
Instructions
1. Collect about 8 cups of fresh, clean snow in a large, shallow dish or tray. Pack it down slightly and place the dish in the freezer to keep it cold.
2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of pure maple syrup over medium heat until it begins to boil.
3. Let the syrup boil gently for about 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches about 235°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup sit for about 30 seconds to slightly cool.
5. Retrieve the dish of snow from the freezer. Carefully drizzle the hot maple syrup over the packed snow in thin lines or small pools.
6. The syrup will firm up almost instantly, creating a taffy-like texture.
7. Use a fork or small stick to gather and enjoy the maple snow. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
