Straight from the kitchen of Ma Ingalls herself, check out this delicious little recipe to whip up your very own Maple Candy just like Laura and her sisters did! Kids, remember, make to sure that you are supervised by your own “Ma” or caregiver before attempting.
Here’s what you’re going to need:
Supplies:
* 2 cups pure maple syrup
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* saucepan (non-stick works best)
* candy thermometer recommended
Instructions:
1. Cook syrup over very low heat until it begins to boil, stirring frequently.
2. Continue boil until it reaches 233°F on the candy thermometer.
3. Remove from heat and cool for aproximately 60-70 minutes, or until the temperature on the candy thermometer reads about 110°F
4. Add the vanilla extract and heat until smooth and fluffy.
5. Shape this mixture into small patties, or while still warm you can pour onto pans of clean snow as Laura did. If you have no snow, you can blend ice cubes until they are crushed, then place crushed cubes into a pan before pouring the maple candy. You can also use candy molds.
6. Maple candy must be stored in airtight containers to prevent the candy from drying out.
Will you bring the show to New England? New Jersey is still a little far. Many people here are fans of Little House and Melissa Gilbert.
Susan! Great question! Our current tour leads us on a fantastic journey across the country to over 26 stops! While upper New England isn’t one of them, this doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t love to stop by. Please stay tuned to the site for information on future tour dates and locations.
Thanks!
