That said I did find this easy way to do it. <a rel="nofollow">http://wondertime.go.com/life-at-home/article/snow-candy-recipe.html</a> which is just pouring some warmed and slightly thickened maple syrup over snow or ice Cream. Let me know how it works.Ruth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-59126951929059284972010-12-12T00:14:47.979-04:002010-12-12T00:14:47.979-04:00When I was a little girl, my Grandmother would sta...When I was a little girl, my Grandmother would stand at the stove and mix what I thought was sugar in a large pot. She didnt use a candy thermometer but did it by feel. When the sugar mixture was ready she would call out to my Grandfather to bring in the roasting pan of packed snow. He would then pour this maple colored clearish liquid onto the snow, where it would instantly harden. We would then break up the candy and eat as much as we could, since we only had it when it snowed in NY. I saw Jacques Pepin pour something on snow briefly as I was flipping channels a long time ago, and was never to find it again. I made pate chinois for dinner tonite and at Christmas we have our traditional Tortiere.....I was hoping to find someone who knew about this "Snow candy" as we called it. Your blog came up and I am intrigued. I am hoping you can direct me in some way to finding out what my grandmother may have done. THank you so much for your blog and helping me think about the wonderful memories of my childhood. The Maple taffy and your pics got to me!ChefMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16608695304459946810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-76760263578481352242008-04-07T16:41:00.000-03:002008-04-07T16:41:00.000-03:00Ruth, I am definitely trying these recipes.
