Though I now live in the southern United States, I spent most of my childhood in New England. I grew up building epically detailed snow forts, sledding down ravines with store-bought sleds, and eating snow cream and frozen maple syrup candy.
Now that I live in the South snow is a rare vestige of my childhood and I get incredibly nostalgic when I see the powdery, white flakes. It only happens every other year, but this morning I was pleased to see a blanket of snow across my lawn.
So for my southern friends, here is a recipe for Snow Cream and Maple Syrup Snow Candy. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Start with 4 cups of fresh, and this is incredibly important, CLEAN snow, cream or milk, sugar and, if you want to be really fancy, vanilla extract.
Add 1/2 cup of cream or milk to the snow.
Add 3 table spoons of sugar to the snow
Add 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla extract
Mix the ingredients together until the snow cream is a slushy mixture and enjoy with friends immediately.
Maple Syrup Snow Candy
This one is beyond easy and all you need to make it is fresh snow and maple syrup.
Pour the syrup on the clean snow
Let the syrup freeze in the snow and enjoy!
Lastly enjoy with snow with your friends!!!!
