do canadians really do this? Anyone got a good recipe? Where

I've only ever heard of it done with molasses during pioneer times, but I'm no Canadian

I think this only happens in Quebec and Nunavut

Usually it only happens in sugar shacks. Super fresh maple syrup gets cooked down to a softball stage before being poured over clean snow and scooped up using a stick. You could probably do it at home if you blend up some ice.

>clean snow

The clean part is always emphasised. What did they think I was going to do? Piss on the snow first?

I think it's also called jack wax, my man

Breddy good. Had it as a kid in northern Ontario.

The early voyageur settlers did this.
It's absolutely delicious but obviously not somehow if Canadians eat often if at all.

Haha

Clean snow will give it a sweet taste. Yellow snow will be more umami

I've had this before it's good.

I heard it tastes like maple syrup.

haven't done this in decades, mostly just for kids

I had that in Wisconsin. It's fine. If you don't live somewhere where you can just wait a couple weeks for snow, i guess you can shred some ice cubes.

live in western canada, there's no sugar maples, but people tap regular maples and just have to reduce it more

see it at farmers markets, good way to get attention to sell a $25 bottle of maple syrup
