Whenever I make an especially good batch, I'll set some aside to be the seed for future batches.

SeanD ,
Can I use these for seed ???
Just kidding,after reading alot here and on the Cornell U site figured out why mine was grainy.
trying to cool it faster I was messing with it not really stirring, but pushing the sides down.Then I read not to touch it don"t even look at it till it cools below 70 degrees.The kitchen aid worked well but need to make some sort of clamp on extension so the paddle will scrape or nearly scrape the sides. going to try another batch this week
Maple cream is one of the toughest things to make.
Glad you guys are working at it.
Variables are:
The Syrup
Boiling temp
Cooling temp
Agitation methods and tools.
Anyone of these can cause failed batches.
Start small do trials
Enjoy the results.
It should be able to be spread on fresh bread with out tearing it!
