Hi fellow Foodies,
Recently our son, the little man, had an awesome idea for a nice little snack: maple snow!
Homemade Maple Snow Cones
One of our favorite things in our house is to enjoy a little bit of fresh maple syrup!
I learned the other day, which actually didn't end up surprising me, that not everybody knows what the taste of the wonderful maple syrup is! I was talking with someone and I told him that he should see if they have maple trees around them and give them a tap, it's getting to be that time of year in the winter for the northern climates to tap the maple trees to get some maple water out of them to make maple syrup. I don't know if he's ever tasted the culinary wonder that is maple syrup!
We are certainly spoiled where we live, we get access to not that expensive and delicious maple syrup right from local farms. It's amazing! Our son has been on a bit of a "chef" kick lately and one of the things he had an idea for, given that it recently snowed here, was to make homemade maple syrup topped snow cones! I don't need any excuse to enjoy some maple syrup so I happily agreed and we grabbed some snow, got some maple syrup out of the fridge and made a little bit of a snack for ourselves!
The maple syrup we have is in a massive bottle and I couldn't hold that while taking a picture so I had to dump it in a smaller container lol
The different kinds of maple syrup you can get are various colors and flavors. I enjoy the darker color as it has a bit of a more rich maple flavor to it. Some people prefer milder color and flavor but not me! You can see that the syrup, even as the last bits are flowing out happily, is a pretty dark color. It's not as dark as molasses that's for sure but it's close!
I had planned on enjoying the snack while working but the stuff didn't last for me to get upstairs! I finished it sitting there in the kitchen with him lol. I enjoy his ideas for food that's for sure but I also enjoy the look on his face when we make something that was his idea and it works out, the sheer joy!
