Maple Snow Cone Recipes

Steps:

• Use a snow cone machine to shave the ice.
• Fill about 1/4 of the cup you are using, then pour maple syrup over it. Shave more ice into the cup and repeat until the cup is as full as you'd like.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pack a rimmed baking sheet with snow and place in freezer (or outside, if temperature is low enough). Meanwhile, bring syrup to a boil in a small saucepan with a candy thermometer clipped onto it; cook until thermometer registers 240 degrees. Carefully pour syrup into a liquid measuring cup and let cool about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle syrup in a few 6-inch lines across snow. Let set 25 to 30 seconds (they should be cool and firm, but not hard). Place a 9 1/2- inch skewer or dowel, or an ice-pop stick, at one end; roll up taffy around skewer. Repeat with remaining syrup and snow. Eat immediately, or store, frozen in a single layer in an airtight container, up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Pack clean fresh snow into 2 13x9 pans until dense and smooth on top.
• Keep snow or crushed ice outside or in freezer until ready to use.
• Add maple syrup & butter to saucepan.
• Boil uncovered on medium high heat until the syrup reaches 250 - 260 degrees.
• Do not stir.
• Remove from heat immediately and pour small strips of hot syrup on snow until pot is empty.
• A second person (wearing winter gloves) should roll each hot strip onto a popsicle stick or fork and leave on the snow to cool.
• Eat when cool.
• The syrup is extremely hot - it can cause severe burns.
• Store uneaten sticks on cookie sheets lined with waxed paper in the deep freeze.
• They will keep for several weeks.
