Nothing is sweeter than a delicious maple stir. Today we are going to show you how to make one from pure maple syrup.

Things you will need:


Pure maple syrup (8 oz. makes about 4 stirs)
Stainless steel pot
Candy thermometer (goes to minimum of 240°F)
Bowls and spoons



Process


Heat the pure maple syrup in the pot to 235°F. Be very careful to prevent the syrup from foaming up and boiling over and out of the pot. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent this, yet still raising the temperature of the syrup.
Promptly remove the syrup from the heat at 235°F, allowing it to cool in the pot to 175°F. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
Pour approximately 1.5 - 2 oz of syrup into each bowl and begin stirring quickly.
Syrup will start to thicken and lighten in color as it sets up into a creamy treat.
Enjoy!

You are a bit confused on the name, it is called maple cream.

Around here we call it maple cream. Let it cool longer and the grains of sugar will be smaller. I cool mine to room temperature before stirring and it comes out super smooth.

Don't you mean "give it a stir" ???

In Geauga County OH "maple stirs" are a tradition at the maple festival. They are similar to cream but slightly different. Main difference is how long it cools as noted by Russ.
