Ingredients:

  • fresh clean snow (or crushed ice)

Directions:

  1. Fill up a 9X13 cake pan with clean snow, and pack it down.
  2. Heat maple syrup to 230 degrees F. This is the soft ball stage if using a candy thermometer. If you don't have a candy thermometer, let the syrup gently boil for about 20 minutes. (If you don't get the syrup heated to the softball stage, you will end up with jack wax that is more like a slushy (see the picture of the little girl with her hand reaching for the jack wax. If you get it to the softball stage, the syrup will turn to taffy when it hits the snow. Either way taste good - just different!).
  3. While syrup is hot, slowly pour over snow in a back-and-forth motion. The syrup will turn in to a taffy-like candy, and you can eat it with your fingers.
