Maple taffy on the snow
|
The maple-syrup solidified on snow is obtained by boiling the sap to the temperature of 238°F (114°C) and by pouring this hot syrup on the snow, so that it solidifies and makes a kind of toffee which some call |
|
Fresh snow |
|
"taffye". We usually use a wooden paddle to twirl the toffee from the snow. Some people prefer to eat it when it is still hot,others prefer to eat it when the toffee has gotten a little harder. |

The maple taffy still hot
is pour on snow. |
During your next visit to the maple grove in spring time, ask the sugar-shack's owner to serve you maple-syrup solidified on the snow, and you'll understand why this old tradition has lasted over all these years.
