Our local maple syrup / sugaring off festival at the “cabane à sucre” last weekend was delicious and fun, as always!

Have you ever tried making “tire sur la neige” maple taffy on snow?

It is pretty simple. All you need is some fresh snow packed down tightly in a bowl or pan, some maple syrup cooked to thicken it up a bit (one trick they told us at the festival was to add a little pat of butter before cooking it), and some popsicle sticks. When the syrup is thick and ready to go, pour it over the snow in a small lines, put a stick on one end of each strip, let it cool and harden for a minute, then roll it up, and voilà!

I expect that most of you don’t have freshly falling snow right now, so you may want to make a note for next time you do! ❄️
