MAPLE SPONGE TOFFEE

Maple Sponge Toffee image

I had an amazing sponge toffee on a trip to a maple syrup refinery, so I was excited when I saw this recipe on the Globe and Mail newspaper. I have had it in other places, called "seafoam", but the maple syrup makes a nice difference. I have yet to try this particular, but I do not want to lose this recipe.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 2

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for the pan and spoon
2 cups pure maple syrup

Steps:

Line the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper; brush the parchment with vegetable oil. Bring the maple syrup to a boil in a large saucepan over medium heat, then reduce the heat to medium low. Dip the back of a spoon in vegetable oil and run it over the top of the foam to help it subside. Increase the heat to medium and continue cooking until a candy thermometer registers 246 degrees F, 25 to 30 minutes. Pour the syrup into a heatproof bowl and let cool, 5 minutes.
Beat the syrup with a mixer on medium-low speed until it starts to lighten in color and turn opaque, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour into the prepared pan and spread with an offset spatula; let cool completely, about 1 hour. Lift out of the pan and cut into pieces.
