Other Uses for Pure New Hampshire Maple Syrup

Besides using the syrup in the form as it pours from the container, there are several maple products you can make with very little additional work which will make the syrup all the more enjoyable. Increasing the density or thickness of the syrup to make taffy or sugar candies requires additional boiling to the respective temperatures necessary for the product desired and then certain processes must be followed.
 
  • SUGAR ON SNOW: Heat the desired amount of syrup to a temperature of 25'F, above the boiling point of water. Without stirring, pour immediately. Use of clean, natural snow is customary, but out of season shaved ice which has a fine body for packing, works well to pour the syrup on. Serve with plastic forks to wind this taffy form of syrup. One quart generally serves about 20 people.

  • SOFT SUGAR CANDIES: Heat the syrup to a temperature of 27'F, above the boiling point of water. Cool slowly and evenly in the pan to 155'F. Stir continuously so that no part of the mixture is allowed to stay at rest until creamy. Pour mixture while still soft into molds or packages as desired.

  • GRANULATED STIRRED SUGAR: Heat the syrup to a temperature of 40'F, above the boiling point of water. Pour the hot syrup immediately into a tray or trough for stirring. Begin stirring immediately and continue stirring until granulation is completed.

  • HARD SUGAR: Heat the syrup to a temperature 45'F, above the boiling point of water. Remove from the heat and begin stirring the hot syrup immediately. Continue stirring until crystals form and syrup begins to stiffen. Pour the partly crystallized syrup into molds to harden.
