Pure Maple Candy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. First things first, grab yourself a nice, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Pour in the cup of pure maple syrup and the quarter teaspoon of salt. Give it a good stir to combine.
  2. Now, turn that heat up to medium-high. You wanna bring the syrup to a boil. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
  3. Once it starts boiling, let it bubble away for about 5 minutes. You’re looking for it to reach a temperature of around 235°F (soft-ball stage). If you don’t have a candy thermometer, just drop a little bit of the syrup into a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, you’re good to go!
  4. When it hits that sweet spot, take it off the heat and let it cool a bit for about 2 minutes. This part is important, so don’t skip it.
  5. Next, grab a wooden spoon and start stirring vigorously as the syrup cools. You’ll notice it starts to change color and thicken up—this is where the magic happens!
  6. Keep stirring until it starts to lose its gloss and hold its shape. This usually takes about 10 minutes, so it gets a little workout in the process!
  7. Now, you can pour the mixture into greased molds or simply drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper. Let them cool completely until they harden up.
  8. Once they’re cooled off, enjoy your homemade Pure Maple Candy! These are perfect for sharing, but let’s be real—you might just want to keep them all to yourself!

And there you have it—simple, sweet, and oh-so-delicious! This Pure Maple Candy is bound to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy every bite!
