Best Soft Maple Sugar Candy Recipes
SOFT MAPLE SUGAR CANDY
for some reason my favorite candy has become almost impossible to find in my area! i haven't tried this yet but i have a shiny new candy thermometer and i'm not afraid to use it! this is supposed to be the crumbly, crystallized type you see in maple leaf shapes that melts when it hits your tongue, not the hard candy you suck on. did you know maple syrup is high in calcium? you don't need the coffee filter, it just wont let you enter a recipe with one ingredient

Steps:
- heat maple syrup to a temperature of approximately 32-34oF above the boiling temperature of pure water (212 degrees F at sea level).
- pour the syrup into a flat pan or trough and allow it to cool undisturbed to at least 200F but not less than 160°F.
- stir until the syrup is soft and plastic.
- pour or pack it into molds. Molded candies commonly set up in 10 to 30 minutes. Candies formed by pouring rather than packing will have an attractive glazed surface.

Steps:
- Place maple in a small saucepan and bring up to 280 degrees F. Dip a spoon into the syrup and drizzle desired shapes onto a sheet pan sprayed with vegetable oil or lined with a silpat. Let cool completely so "candies" come off the sheet pan easily. Eat as is or use as a garnish.
MAPLE PRALINES
This recipe rekindles memories of my grandfather and his love for making maple syrup. When I was in college, my mother would send me a package of her pralines during sugaring season. They were so popular with my friends, I barely managed to tuck away a few for myself.

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.
