Fat Free Maple
Candy
Ingredients:
2 cups real maple syrup
Directions:
Using a candy thermometer, in a sturdy saucepan with
high sides, bring the maple syrup to a boil.
Turn the heat to very low and allow the syrup to
continue boiling without stirring until the
thermometer reads 233 degrees.
Be careful that the syrup doesn’t boil over.
When the reduced syrup has reached 233 degrees,
remove it from the heat and allow to cool, still
without stirring it, until the thermometer reads 110
degrees.
Beat the reduced syrup with a wooden spoon. Beat
vigorously for several minutes.
As you beat, the syrup gradually turns a pale
caramel color and it becomes stiff enough to hold a
shape.
Place in candy molds or form into patties on a plate
or baking sheet and allow to cool completely. Then
unmold and enjoy.
Makes about 1 pound of fat free candy.
