Maple cream is something I grew up eating! Have you tried it before? It's a 1-ingredient hand-stirred cream that is well worth the work! Recipe Instructions: www.freshisreal.com/how-to-make-maple-cream/ If you try it, please take your time and pay attention to the boiling syrup and let me know in the comments how it went for you!

which kitchen funnel do you use? thanks

After I watched your video it was plain to me why it's so expensive to buy. It it were 15 year's ago I would definitely make your recipe, as I always made different cooked candies throughout my life, but now I'm 73 years old with severe osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. I also have a torn rotator cuff in my right and being right handed, the stirring would be impossible for me, not to mention it being dangerous for me to cook in this chair. So the only option I have is to pay the +++ price for an organic Vermont maple butter. I will have to say, yours looks better than any I've tried before. I can smell the aroma from here! lol Thank you for a wonderful tutorial/video and God Bless you and yours. In Christian love, Linda D. from Texas.

We only made this in the winter so we would cool it in the snow I piled up just outside the door...my dad would stand out there the whole time..cooled in just a few minutes. This maple syrup was from our own trees he would tap himself..150 of them,single buckets. I miss him alot

I say cool it down to 96 degrees and yes, keep stirring, that whole 30 minutes.

Float the ice in water and set the syrup into it. Cools faster

After it cools to 95 degrees could you stir it with a whisk or a electric mixer or does it have to be a wooden spoon. Thank you

@FreshisReal

Well, some say that using a wooden spoon is the best way to stir it but you could try using a mixer as long as the attachment and bowl are very cold (place them in the freezer first). And cool your syrup, of course, see the recipe's instructions. If you use a mixer or a hand mixer and your boiled syrup still feels hot, you might have to place an ice bath underneath to help cool it while you continue mixing. This will be easier to achieve with a hand mixer. If you do try it, please let us know if it works as well. Ps. It will still take at least 30 minutes to make even if you use a mixer.

I'm wondering why this can't go into a stand mixer on low....?

It's a popular question, but as the cream thickens, it might be too much work for the machine and might burn the motor if you don't have a heavy-duty appliance. You can start mixing with a mixer and could finish by hand. Report back if you try it ;)

Can this be used for maple frosting? A neighbor made the most fantastic maple frosted cake

Hi! Maple cream on its own, on a cake for instance, the maple cream will eventually melt off or change in texture. I think for maple icing, bakers mix the maple cream or maple syrup with other ingredients. But if you're looking to make a cleaner recipe without shortening, for example, I would consider whipping up some coconut cream or something with gorgeous maple cream but I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure if it would hold up and stay thick.

P.S. I meant to mention that maple is my favorite flavor of everything. Strange being raised in Texas, huh? I can find maple fudge here but none of the grocery stores carry a true organic wonderful tasting syrup, I know because I've tried at least 6 different brands. Take Care of yourself. Linda D.

After mixing for a while it could change the color of the syrup but without the extra boiling of the sugar, the texture itself wouldn't change.

Have you tried making it when it cooled down to 60F like paulfamilysugarbush make their own commerical maple cream?

@FreshisReal

Жыл бұрын

You could try and let it cool for longer. The mixture gets thicker, which could reduce the hand-stirring time. If I was at my dad's sugar bush, I would place my pot into the cold snow so it would get cold much faster ;)

If I overlooked it can I add anything to it and recook it?

@FreshisReal

Жыл бұрын

If you boil it too much? It will simply be very thick when stirring and possibly turn into maple sugar which is equally amazing. You can grind the maple sugar into a finer texture and use it in baked goods or any way you might use quality sugar. You can also crumble it and use it as a topping in a fruit crumble.

Do you refrigerate this after it's done? Or keep it at room temperature?

Hi! You could try, but from my experience, there's just something magical that transforms when using a plain old wooden spoon and stirring right into the bowl.

I’m wondering if it’d be possible to make a maple Italian buttercream or meringue with this… Instead of the usual boiled sugar syrup, I’m thinking you could drizzle the 234° maple syrup into the whipped egg whites…

@FreshisReal

Жыл бұрын

Even when cooled, the thickened boiled syrup might be too heavy for the whipped egg whites? What do you think? Would it deflate the eggs? I'll be playing around with some cake frosting ideas soon with maple cream as I too thick it would be a wonderful natural sugar to use for a special dessert.

@seraeggobutterworth5247

Жыл бұрын

@@FreshisReal To be clear, I wasn’t thinking of adding the cooled syrup to whipped egg whites, I’m thinking of using the syrup straight off the boil when it’s still 234°. I’m pretty-kinda-maybe sure-ish it wouldn’t deflate the egg whites, as long as you add it slowly down the inner edge of the mixing bowl while the whisk is going, exactly as you would to make Italian meringue. (Italian meringue, for anyone who may not know, requires you to drizzle boiling hot sugar syrup into whipped egg whites, then you continue whipping until everything in the bowl cools. Then, if you want, you can add butter to turn the meringue into buttercream. You definitely want a stand mixer for this process!😅) If you do end up trying this, please let us know how it works out! My stand mixer gave up the ghost at the start of the year, but when I replace it I’m going to give this a shot. I love maple glazes and icing, but with my past attempts at buttercream the flavor is never intense enough.

It will stay in a spreadable texture. But will be colder once refrigerated, so a little harder. If you boil the syrup a few degrees too much it will be thicker when mixing which could, in turn, create a drier spread. And if you overcook it, it will be like granulated sugar when you try and mix it.

It's pure natural maple sugar so it can easily keep for 1-2 months in the refrigerator with no problem. Keep in mind that you'll probably eat it in less time as it's so good! You can spread it on toast, pancakes, any dessert really. Let me know if you do try it! I made more over the holidays and mixed in thick coconut cream (1/3 cup). It's good but I prefer the one-ingredient version better! Also, I tried with my mixer again, and to be honest, even though it's hard work to mix by hand it actually works faster than with a mixer.
