Sugar on snow · Burlington
Hot maple syrup boiled to 234F and poured over packed clean snow; it sets to a chewy taffy you twirl on a fork. Traditionally served with a sour dill pickle and a plain doughnut to cut the sweet.
A 19th-century sugaring-season tradition across northern New England and Quebec; sugarmakers would pour the partly reduced syrup over snow as a treat for visiting farmers. Now the showpiece of Vermont's Maple Open House Weekend (next edition March 20-21, 2027), when 80-plus sugarhouses open for free tours and tastings.
