Easy Maple Sugar Candy

Source of Recipe


Epicurean.com






List of Ingredients



• Maple Syrup
  






Instructions



1. Prepare your molds by greasing them lightly or use a single large pan and break the candy into conveiniently sized pieces once it cools.
   
   
2. Heat the maple syrup to the hard crack stage. This is around 300 F. Precision is not really necessary here though. What you want to do is get it to a hard crack and keep it there until it starts to crystallize.
   
   
3. At this point you have to be very fast and somewhat reckless: pour the crystallizing syrup into molds or your pan as quickly as you can. If you get it at the right time it will be smooth grained.
   
   






Final Comments


If you're too late, it will be coarse, if your're too early it will be like hard candy~ clear and brittle, but it is delicous anyway!
