First, long wooden troughs are filled with fresh, clean snow. Then boiled and reduced maple syrup is poured in strips over the snow, chilling it to a taffy-like consistency. Children then roll up the taffy on wooden sticks and for a sweet and sticky cold-weather treat. As the Québecois say, "Attention aux dents!"
Makes enough for 5 to 6 kids, big or small
Ingredients
- Maple syrup -- 1 quart
- Fresh, clean snow -- a good amount
Method
- Bring the maple syrup to a boil in a large saucepan and simmer until it reaches 240°F on a candy thermometer.
- Pour in a thin stream over clean snow. Let set for a moment to begin to harden. Roll up on a clean stick and eat.
