A while back I spoke of our old pastime of "Mapling" . As in using maple
sap and snow for a treat.
Looked it up and could not find reference to it. Because we called it by
our local name.
Others call it Maple- Snow Treats.
I found this listed in the gift show promotion several days ago.
Buried in a Snowstorm?
Kids are sledding, and everyone else is
wondering when the snow will melt!
We've had our share of snow here in Greensboro, and we bet that we're not
alone! Everyone liked our snowcream recipe so much, that we found another
fun recipe for snow.
Maple-Snow Treats
Gather fresh snow from outside, take it inside (keep it from melting!) and
boil some maple syrup. It needs to be real maple syrup.
Add one tablespoon of butter and stir until melted. Keep stirring for 6-7
minutes so it doesn't boil over. (You'll know it's ready when the syrup mix
starts to form hard balls when it drips off the spoon.) Remove from heat.
While the syrup mixture is cooling for a few minutes, run outside and fill
several plates or roasting pans with snow. Bring in and drizzle spoonfuls
of the syrup mixture over the snow.
The result: taffy-like maple candy, just like they made in Laura Ingalls
Wilder's "Little House in the Big Woods."
Reference of where this came from.

This recipe is a bit more complicated.
We used the watered down maple liquid from the boiling pans at the tree
farms. This was a cheap
and sweet treat for all us kids.
There is snow in the mountains but not here.

I heard this evening that every state, excepting Florida, has had snow
this winter.
Any favorite recipes or food stories from or for the snowbound?
