Weird we always just boil syrup till it reaches about 115 degrees. Never tried an actual recipe with other ingredients added. Might have to try it sometime!

In reply to Angie Brooks. Hey Ang! I totally forgot that about Little House. This recipe comes from the grandfather of a friend of mine - I think she said it was an old French recipe. Kind of fun. xo

I remember reading about making maple candy on snow in the Little House on the Prairie books and always wished I could try it!

Growing up in Vermont we had sugar on snow often. I loved it. Great recipe to try if we ever get enough clean snow. My grandkids would love to try it out.

Having been born in St. Albans, VT (the maple sugar capital of the world) I was born loving this stuff! And I have many happy memories of purchasing this at the annual Maple Sugar Festival in St. Albans. They served it on fresh snow – with a little wooden fork – and a slice of a sour pickle 🙂 yum.

What a unique, fun and delicious idea! I had never heard of maple syrup on ice. I’ll have to try it with Cam. Perfect with all of that fresh snow outside. I loved the pictures and story of the Pecks. So nice to have lived next to all of that land and the pond!!!!

What a wonderful story to share about a memorable childhood delight! Your neighbors were so unique with a treasure of stories that give you fodder for many tales to regale all your dear friends. Never had the enjoyment of tasting Maple ON SNOW, but sure must be fun and give great ideas to many families with children!!! Loved your pictures – you are a natural, love your stories, can’t wait each day for new adventures:-)

ANOTHER VOICE HEARD FROM: Miss Allie, Who are those three handsome fellows? One looks just like someone I know!!!! GONE OUT TO GET SOME SNOW………

In reply to clarke. Oh very nice to know, thank you. I'll add your picture into the post, amending how he created his pond. And $48 a gallon is the CHEAPEST I have found pure maple syrup around us. It's often closer to $60.
