    Christmas time is always my buddy time for making maple sugar candy, this year had alot of ppl wanting them. It's because of my love for maple syrup that got me so obsessed with all things wood and firewood!

    My brother and sister in law work full-time (year around) at a maple sugar shack making candy. I love it, but once at a fair I tried Maple Syrup Cotton Candy and while I do not want to sound like I am talking ill of maple syrup, I did NOT like that.

    In my house though, where I married a New Hampshirite, I think she would leave me and our Maine home if it was not forever stocked with real maple syrup.

    I
    I heat it up to 242-245f then pour into a measuring cup let it cool to 200f stir till it turn opaque and you'll see the syrup with have a bit of a swirl of lighter colour to it and then I pour into the molds let them set pop em and package or eat them. I took alot of trial and error to get it right. I might just be a slow learner lol.
