If you have the right kind of maple trees, it can be fun to make candy from the syrup, by boiling it down and pouring it onto snow.
"Jack Wax" or "Maple on Snow" is a maple product produced by pouring hot maple syrup over snow or crushed or cracked ice. It is most commonly eaten quickly, rather than stored for future use.
Make "Jack Wax" or "Maple on Snow" by heating maple syrup to a temperature 18 to 40oF above the boiling temperature of pure water and immediately pouring the heated syrup over snow or cracked or crushed ice. The nature of the product produced depends on the temperature attained. At the lower end of the temperature range, the "Jack Wax" will be taffy-like, and chewy; at the upper end of the temperature range it will be much harder, and more glass-like.
