Making Maple Syrup and then evaporating/boiling it down father and making Maple Syrup Candy. Very delicious melt in your mouth homemade Maple Syrup Candy. Step by step.
My father-in-law used to make maple syrup every year and I still have a jar in the refrigerator from his last batch before he passed. I have never been able to bring myself to use it. Nor could I bring myself to throw it away. It sits on the shelf on the door and serves as my little reminder of “Dad” and what he enjoyed doing every year! He has been gone 27;years.😥
So pretty! I'll eat the sides you took off. My daddy was from Maine. When we'd visit there from Texas he would always buy me maple candy from a sweet, older lady that lived in a big white house. That was 60 years ago. Such a happy memory. Thank you for this video.
Looks nice. Joe's and Mel's country shop online produce of the seasons. While stocks last. Candy From maple Syrup. Maple syrup..soap. Lucky you both have each other
Omg! I just asked yesterday on the Northern seclusion channel if they ever sold any of the homemade maple syrup and I was completely star struck when I got a reply back! Now after discovering your channel and seeing how Mr. Joe made the syrup, I can make your candy recipe! I can’t tell you how stoked I am! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Boy oh boy Joe I always love your videos that Maple candy looks delicious I can sit and watch you work on stuff for hours always a pleasure you have an awesome day Joe
Up next Joe, make some maple cream. Growing up, my neighbors made syrup, candy and cream. I've spent many hours in the sugar shack boiling sap. I used to help tap the trees and their collection system consisted of plasctic tubing connected to each spile which all emptied into a huge holding tank. They had a pump at the tank sucking the sap from the tubing. If you have any large trees, they can support more than one tap.
That's awesome! I got to see the whole process, from beginning to end! That's maple leaf shaped candy! Beautiful! Please give Melissa a hug from me Joe.
I have made Maple Syrup and candy many many times. I have watched all your videos on you getting ready to make Maple Syrup and candy. It just goes to show that you do not need a expensive set up to make Maple Products. I loved watching so keep the videos coming. Thanks Joe
Even though it is alot of work there is nothing more satisfying then making it yourself. Nice job Joe you always work so hard enjoy your syrup & candy .🙂🇨🇦👍
I'm not a big candy eater or a baker. I was sitting here thinking that looked like a lot of work when you said, I'll never do it again! LOL I bet it is good. My sister made salted caramel one time. I couldn't stop licking that bowl! Put nuts or fruit in something like that and it becomes my favorite. LOL HUGS~Donna
tip for molds. We use wax paper w 8x11 with pleats going the length. It makes long tube shapes candy. We cut the long tube shapes up into bite size and wrap in individual sized waxed paper and twisted on the ends for the candy dish.
Great video Joe,really enjoyed watching your videos on making the maple syrup from the trees on your property. Fantastic job !! .I could almost taste that thick syrup and the candy. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
LOL, we live in the desert -- no maple trees here! But years ago a friend sent me some maple syrup, candy and sugar and I've never bought fake syrup again. It was such a great gift that I'm going to send her a link to remind her how much I appreciate her generosity. Please give our best to Melissa and let her know how much she is missed. She's a strong woman but dang, we all reach a limit. Thank goodness she could take off work to spend time with her family. Great job on the syrup and candy Joe. Most impressive. Those jars are going to look fantastic on those shelves downstairs.
Oh my that candy looks good. Great syrup too. My late husband was from New York and had great memories of making syrup when he was young. Thanks for bringing back memories . I enjoy thinking on them.
Awesome! Now you can get a cotton candy machine and use some to make cotton candy! LoL That's why I'm watching- to learn to make candy for the cotton candy machine.
What a great video! So interesting, I never realized it took so much sap to make syrup. I was told a good tip when making the candy all the loose bits that are left from the molds you can add to a food processor and pulse away to get lovely maple sugar, so yummy in coffee and teas! Thanks for the video.
My Brother and Uncle and me use to tape 1,000 trees it was a lot of work they would make candy also. I found that the candy was way to sweet for me. Good luck with with the syrup.
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 to you, Melissa, and family. And, so jealous of all those maple trees! Yum! Much love and admiration from snowy Alberta.😉👍🇨🇦 p.s. LOL re " I'm never doing this again!" 🤣
I live in the wrong part of the country to tap a maple tree. Darn. I've heard of kept sugar too, but have never tasted it. The maple leaves were perfect - those slicing molds work surprisingly well. Nice job.
Now for the art of making the perfect Belgian waffles & the perfect fluffiest pancakes to enjoy the Maple syrup. 😊 I just found your new channel, well, it actually found me.
Our thoughts and prayers for Melissa and her family during this difficult time. Joe, I was thinking the same thing about the work it took to make the candy. But after hearing your taste test I changed my mind. Enjoy!
That was the perfect video! You got right to the point and no long introductions. I just finished making 8 gallons of syrup. My goal was 4 gallons. It is just a hobby but very rewarding. I may just try some maple candy. Thank you for the video!!
If you do this often, you should get a candy thermometer and just hang it on the side of the pan. It is a lot easier to manage the temperature with one of those.
Wow! I had no clue the amount of work it takes to make my favorite candy. It looks so delicious. What a process from tree to mold. You make it look easy.
I’ve never had home made maple syrup that’s was gotten from the sap on ones own trees. Sure takes a lot of sap to cook down to syrup. Long long process I’ve never really had maple syrup but I’m sure in making your own would taste much better than store bought. I really liked the jug you filled, how much was in it? I really enjoy your videos showing processes that go thru making your own in place of purchasing from the store. You are a very knowledgeable man, Joe and it shows by the number of subscribers you have! Thanks again for taking the time.
Next time you make it mix in some pecans, walnuts or even mixed nuts or shredded coconut and pour it out onto parchment paper to cool. Then break into pieces. It is yummy chopped up and put over ice cream.
