It’s time to get some sugar on snow. This is a special Vermont treat that is only available this time of year.  I’m talking about maple syrup that is boiled until it is almost at the candy state, then poured on snow until it hardens. There are two classic side dishes to sugar on snow:  a home made cake donut and a pickle.  They say the donut is there to soak up the sweetness of the syrup and the pickle is there to “cleanse” the pallet.  I think it is there because eating a bunch of syrup can give you a pretty big sugar rush!  If you are in Vermont during March, there a number of sugar houses you can visit.  If you’d like to make your own sugar on snow (With real Vermont maple syrup, of course.) you can try this recipe.
