My dad asked me how to make maple sugar. Rather than relying on google, I came to the fount. I'll just stand here quietly. :geek:

I've only ever made it by accident. My uh "method" is to try for hard crack and then go over. Stirring helps, too.

Crystal,

I have made it several times. Remember I brought lots of it to Chicago?

You need a really dry day, maple syrup, a heavy dutch oven and large wood spoon and about two hours. The basic concept is to cook the syrup from its boiling point (about 220 degrees F.) to about 245 - 255 degrees F. Allow to cool to 150 degrees and then stir to aerate creating a texture like brown sugar.

I usually bake it after cooking to dry for better storage.

This site seems to have the information. http://www.baking911.com/candy/maple.htm

I also have a Word file I will email to you with more information on maple candy and other stuff. This file also has other tips.

Tim
