So I thought I'd try my hand and making maple candy. Not the hard lollypop kind but the soft candy kind. I bought some grey rubber molds and boiled them with baking soda as recommended.
I have been reading and watching videos on how to do this. Some people say it takes 4 hours. Others say a half hour. I will be using already-finished syrup. How long does this take if I do about 2 cups for my first run?
My stove is propane.
Also, Do I stir the syrup when it begins to foam up to prevent it from boiling over the top of the pot? Or would stirring it during the heating up cause it to scorch the sides of the pot?
Thanks.
