We finished hanging our sign from Ginger Worx LLC , what a beauty! No missing our maple farm now. All that’s left is to swap on a black chain and give the frame two coats of black paint, we were just too excited to wait before taking pictures. We ended up with a few extra copies so we put one on the sugar shack with a red background and hung one on our timber frame home.
To make our candy as creamy as possible we’ve been cooling the syrup concentrate under vacuum. The cooler the syrup is and faster we churn it, the smaller and smoother the crystals are. We’ve always had various problems using our previous pump so we finally upgraded to this 2 HP liquid ring pump, and wow does it work fast! In just a couple of minutes it drops the syrup from 240° to 150° while also removing around one cup of water, readying our concentrate for candy
Yesterday we made a delicious appetizer with our maple syrup and maple sugar. Here’s a quick rundown of the recipe
1. Fry bacon and drain fat, patting off excess grease with a paper towel.
2. Add a few ounces of Nova Maple Syrup, cook on medium heat until syrup thickens.
3. Let bacon cool then wrap scallops, using a toothpick to secure
4. Sear scallops and cook 2-4 minute. Flip sides and top with Nova Maple Sugar and continue to cook for another 2-4 minutes
Give it a try! If you don’t have scallops this is still a great way to cook bacon. Enjoy!
Enjoy!
