Maple Taffy On Snow Or Crushed Ice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 quarts crushed ice (or snow)
2 cups pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon butter

Preparation

Pack clean fresh snow into 2 13x9 pans until dense and smooth on top.
Keep snow or crushed ice outside or in freezer until ready to use.
Add maple syrup & butter to saucepan.
Boil uncovered on medium high heat until the syrup reaches 250 - 260 degrees.
Do not stir.
Remove from heat immediately and pour small strips of hot syrup on snow until pot is empty.
A second person (wearing winter gloves) should roll each hot strip onto a popsicle stick or fork and leave on the snow to cool.
Eat when cool.
The syrup is extremely hot - it can cause severe burns.
Store uneaten sticks on cookie sheets lined with waxed paper in the deep freeze.
They will keep for several weeks.
