2008 Maple Season is Near, Sugar on Snow

Sugar on snow parties have been a traditional spring-time favorite in Massachusetts for 
over 200 years. Sugar on snow is made by pouring heated pure  maple syrup onto packed snow or crushed ice to form taffy-like candy and its traditionally served  with doughnuts, sour pickles, and coffee. The pickles and coffee serve to counter the intense sweetness of the candy.

To make your own Sugar on Snow: Heat the syrup without stirring to 233 degrees. Pour or drizzle (again without stirring) the syrup immediately over the packed snow or crushed ice to form a thin coating. The taffy is soft, so the easiest way to eat it is to wind it up with a fork and ENJOY!

We are busy getting ready for sugaring. We keep getting more snow but we know the season will soon be upon us. Great WINTER in the Northeast to try sugar on snow!
