Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 8 ounces pure maple syrup
• 1 cup snow (for testing)
• 1 (1 quart) saucepan filled with packed clean snow

Recipe

• 2 boil for 4 minutes.
• 3 make a snowball out of the one cup of clean snow and put it on a plate or small bowl.
• 4 test the syrup by pouring a small amount onto the snowball; if it clings to the snow and stops running, it is ready.
