How Not to Cook with Maple

Rules of cooking with Maple Syrup by Jessica

Making maple cashews, pecans & walnuts
Maple Nuts


1. Never leave it unattended.
2. Don’t forget to add the butter to keep it from spilling over the pan.
3. If you forget 1 &2, make sure you can run really fast down the stairs and leap over the cat to prevent the syrup from boiling over 🤦
4. Locate the thermometer before you start 🤦
5. Every pan and dish you come into contact with will need to be washed.
6. Never start a maple project after 8 pm – you know you’re tired, just dont try it ⏰
7. No, you can’t do 3 other things while you’re cooking maple syrup. Focus – especially because you’ve ignored rule #6

7a. No, there’s not enough time to do anything else while it goes up theblast 2 degrees….. nope nope nope.
8. Seriously, Jess – 3 different kinds of nuts in 3 bowls ?? Are you nuts ? Obviously, yes, because you know this won’t end well…..
9. Ooey gooey hot sticky mess – and I am the 👑 queen of them 😒😂
10. Nobody, but you will know they’re not as pretty as you pictured, and NoBody is going to care once they start eating! 😂🍁

Not joking – if you ever have a question about cooking with Maple – call me! Ask me! I’m sure I’ve screwed it up or made a mess somehow and will gladly let you learn from my disasters!
