Cómo preparar

1
Pack fresh, clean snow into a 2 cm layer in a shallow baking dish, pressing it firmly so the surface is smooth. Return the dish to the freezer while the syrup cooks.
2
Pour the maple syrup into a heavy 2-litre saucepan. If desired, rub butter around the inside rim to reduce foaming. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan, keeping the bulb below the syrup surface without touching the base.
3
Bring the syrup to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook uncovered until it reaches 112–115°C, about 10–15 minutes; the bubbles will become slower and larger and the syrup will look noticeably thicker.

4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup stand for 2 minutes, until the bubbling subsides but the syrup remains fluid. Work carefully because the syrup is extremely hot.
5
Remove the snow from the freezer. Pour a thin 10 cm strip of hot syrup onto the snow, wait 5–10 seconds, then roll it around a wooden stick or fork. Continue with the remaining syrup, working in small batches, and serve immediately.

Por qué funciona esta receta

Reducing pure maple syrup concentrates its caramelized flavor and raises its temperature enough to create a pliable candy. Packed snow cools the syrup rapidly, giving it a soft, chewy texture instead of letting it spread into a brittle.

Conservación y recalentado

Cómo conservarla

Maple taffy is best eaten immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days, separating pieces with parchment.

Cómo recalentarla

Do not reheat finished taffy; warm it gently in your hands if needed to soften it for rolling.
