Make Snow Candy

Take a large bowl or baking sheet with sides and fill it with just-fallen, clean snow.

Pack it down so you have a firm, flat snow surface.

Set it in your freezer or leave it outside to keep it cold.

In a small saucepan, ideally a saucepan with a pouring lip.

Bring the maple syrup to a boil over medium-high heat.

Boil until it reaches soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer.

Working quickly, pour the hot syrup onto the snow.

Allow it to cool and harden slightly and then enjoy!

Make Maple Butter

Beat together softened butter, honey and maple syrup.

Shape into a 1-inch diameter log.

Wrap in plastic wrap.

Chill in the refrigerator.

Serve Maple Butter on:

Pancakes, waffles, french toast, scones or

drizzle over popped popcorn.
