8
cups
100% real maple syrup
Instructions
Using a heavy pot (we prefer stainless steel) start boiling the syrup.
Do not stir unless syrup is boiling to the top of the pot.
Adding a little butter to the pot rim helps keep syrup from overflowing.
Turn down heat occasionally to keep from scorching.
Heat the maple syrup until the temperature is 45° to 50° F above the boiling point of water.
For us that is between 255-265° F (hard ball stage).
Take off heat and cool to 200° F if desired (before stirring).
Stir rapidly with a long handled wooden spoon.
It will begin to look and feel like a dry brown sugar.
Store in a cool dry place.
Replace 1:1 in any sugar recipe.
