Maple Syrup Candy

Cultural Context

Maple syrup candy, or Tire d'érable, is a cherished Canadian tradition, particularly during the sugaring-off season in late winter and early spring. This delightful treat is made by pouring hot maple syrup over snow, creating a chewy, sweet candy that evokes nostalgia for many Canadians. It symbolizes the connection to nature and the maple tree, which is integral to Canadian culture. Today, it is enjoyed not only in Canada but has also found fans around the world, especially among those who appreciate the unique flavor of maple syrup.

💰Cheaper: corn syrup

Corn syrup is less expensive but lacks the distinct maple flavor.

1

Before you start making maple candy, it's important to calibrate your thermometer.

2

Boil water in a pot.

3

Insert the thermometer into the boiling water.

4

Note the temperature reading. It should be around 212°F.

5

In a large and heavy-bottomed pan, pour the maple syrup.

6

Heat the maple syrup to 243-244°F, which is 32°F above the boiling point of water. Remember to check the boiling water temperature beforehand to ensure accuracy.

7

While it's heating, prepare your molds or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8

Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool down to 185°F.

9

Start mixing the mixture for about two minutes until the color becomes lighter before pouring.

10

Quickly pour the mixture into candy molds or onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

11

If done correctly, it will take about 10 minutes for the candy to harden. Then, remove the candy from the molds or break it into pieces if you used a baking sheet.
