Maple Cream
If you haven’t had maple cream (a.k.a. maple butter) before, then you’re missing out on maple syrup in one of its most decadent, delicious forms. To make maple cream, you simply heat maple syrup to the cusp of soft ball stage, cool it down, and then slowly stir it until the sugars crystallize and form a light, spreadable cream. It’s wonderful on toast, mixed into frosting, or simply eaten right off a spoon.
Ingredients
- 1 quart 100% pure maple syrup (grade a light amber is ideal)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream (or substitute oil to keep it dairy-free)
