Maple Sugar Candy

Maple Sugar Candy is a delightful, naturally sweet treat made from pure maple syrup, capturing the essence of the great outdoors. This Paleo-friendly snack offers a rich flavor and a unique texture that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

• Pure maple syrup - 1 cup (240 ml)
• Sea salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup and sea salt.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches a boil.
4. Continue boiling without stirring until the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F to 240°F or 112°C to 115°C), about 10-15 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
6. Add the vanilla extract to the syrup and stir gently.
7. Using a wooden spoon, begin to stir the syrup vigorously until it thickens and starts to lose its gloss, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Quickly pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly.
9. Let it cool completely at room temperature until firm, then break into pieces.
