Recipe - Les Toquettes (Sugar On Snow)

*** NON NE *****

In a large saucepan place 4 to 5 cups maple syrup. Bring to a boil over
high heat. Watch closely, as it easily boils over if the pan is not large
enough. Then cook over medium heat until the candy thermometer register 230
to 232 degrees F.

Have bowls filled with clean snow (or shaved ice). Dribble the hot syrup
over the snow by spoonfuls. It sets quickly. Pick up with a wooden stick or
a spoon and eat. After the sweetness, drink a large goblet of cold clear
sap, right from the tree. A treat to be had once a year!
