Recipes for Maple Drop Candy

[MaplePancakeMan]

So i know that maple drops are traditionally made with maple syrup, glucose and sucrose, but what are the steps/ratios if any of you care to share?

[MaplePancakeMan]

so from what i read on the back of a package that it contains 33.3% of each of the maple syrup, sucrose and glucose. I feel that the sucrose measured in ounces would be to make a simple syrup out of equal parts water and sugar and then measure out your ounces.


does anyone know the process?

1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup cane sugar, 1/3 cup corn syrup, bring to 295f. let cool a little bit and pour into your molds.

Thank You very much i had been wondering how to do that for awhile now!

I have had good results with the other receipe also and it calls for equal parts of maple syrup and corn syrup, heat slowly to 300F and spoon into molds. The only thing I encountered last summer was on high humidity days the candy does not come out of the molds and what is already made gets gooey and the shapes change or deform.
