How to Make My Mom's Maple Syrup Recipe

In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, sugar, butter, and salt. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Once boiling, clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it does not touch the bottom.
Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) – the firm-ball stage. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and immediately pour the hot syrup onto a buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces. Work quickly as the candy will begin to set.
Enjoy your homemade maple syrup candy!
