Cost: £4
Equipment
- 1 large pan
- 1 Food grade thermometer
- 1 Silicone or plastic spoon/spatular
Ingredients
- 250 ml 100% pure grade A maple syrup
Instructions
- Fill the sink (or a large bowl) with ice and water. Just enough to submerge the bottom half of the pan
- Pour maple syrup into the pan and place over a medium-low heat
- Allow the syrup to heat up and bubble away (without stirring) until it reaches 112c on the thermometer. Be careful it’s very hot!
- Submerge the bottom of the pan into the ice cold water and carefully swirl the pan to cool the syrup. Test the temperature frequently and as soon as it reaches 52c remove the pan from the water.
- Use a spoon or spatula to mix the syrup for around 30 minutes. You will see it transform from an amber liquid to a creamy caramel. Don’t go wild with stirring, you’ll soon get fatigued! You aren’t whisking air into the syrup, you are stirring it to change the structure of the sugar!
- Store in a sterilised jar in a cool dark place and keep in the fridge when opened.
