I went a tiny bit OVER 235 degrees F & made 'MAPLE FUDGE'!@#$% A bit of hot water saved the day though & made the 'maple cream'. I must say, this is the most PHYSICALLY CHALLENGING recipe I've EVER attempted! YOIKS! I almost gave up! I EVEN got a BLISTER on a finger from stirring!@#$% Probably won't make this again. But thanks for the recipe!
Ahh yes, the torn rotator cuff point of honor.
Didn't work for me…not sure what I did wrong. Also, stirring by hand for a half hour blows lol.
You are a fantastic human being
Would this work on donuts?
Maple works well on toasts, just make sure you put some pressure on the middle to curve the bread a bit.
Heh 69 dislikes
Stirred manually with a wooden spoon? Put that on an electric stand mixer with dough hook attachment at its lowest setting, and mix it with rest intervals to let the crystals form and prevent machine burnout.
Or use a handheld mixer at its lowest setting and five rest intervals in between.
If you take it to 262 and beat it with hand beaters you get maple sugar, made it yesterday, it's so damn good
Ok we did this watched the video 5 times followed to the t
It set up fast , set up half way threw pouring into the jar , now it’s in the jar and it’s not spreadable !!!
What do we do with it now ??? It sure isn’t gunna pour out , or spread ! It’s more like soft candy
Maple butter does not have butter in it its just called that way because of the spreadable property .. i know because i'm canadian and i've been surrounded by suger shacks almost all my life and go almost every year …. i am perfect bilinguel and can assure you that no where in Québec is Maple Butter called Maple Cream but outside Québec i cant say for sure .
Kind of like honey butter.
Can you make maple cream cholate candy or do you have to put a little powder sugar
Do you store it on a shelf or in the refrigerator?
I can’t wait to make this!!!
I have made this before and it was just slightly to thick. I added a little more syrup and it was just perfect! This time it is a complete flop! Can anyone help me safe it?
Do you have a donut recipe and demonstration please
My second question is there any way of loosening it back up a little bit it’s a little solid
Apparently I mixed it a little too long and I had to spoon it into the jar which is fine but my real question is do you need to refrigerate it or not? Thanks Fred
Wonderful.😄
A similar approach can be used for small scale maple stirs:

omg ill just buy it instead !!
Does anyone know how long this keeps and should it be refrigerated? Also, can it be canned for longer shelf life?
Man 6 years ago was a different time
Hey, i did the same things but added less syrop to a very big pot. After cooling everything i started stirring but could barely do it ( i see on the video it goes much, much easier). After around 25 minutes i got this what here was presented as little bit more than half way and after a minute it turned into something like fudge. It's tottaly smooth and delicious but definetely cannot be spreaded. Do you know what might go wrong? Overheated ?
I use my cement mixer…
I think I've glimpsed heaven!
