Sparkly, glittery snow has deposited on our landscape. Its beauty is never fully known until the precise moment the sun’s rays reaches the snow crystals and a sparkling, twinkle effect radiates off the surface. This precise moment is the moment I look forward to with each snowfall. It is also the moment that I begin to look through various recipe books that have been handed down to me by family members.
I seem to cherish the long lost traditions and homemade delights. I have found a wonderful recipe that uses snow in the ingredients. This of course, makes my day, and I share this recipe with you today.
The recipe calls for 1 cup dark molasses, ½ cup of brown sugar and enough snow to fill two pie pans. In a pan, boil the molasses and sugar together until you made thick syrup. Then, pour the mixture on clean (not yellow) white snow to make little circles, curlicues or squiggledy things in the pie pans. The mixture will harden at once and make a tasty candy treat. You can break the candy into bite-sized pieces or keep the shape that you created. Remember, set aside a piece for the cooks and store the rest for later.
Voila! You are done. Enjoy!
