Stirring the syrup into grain sugar
The final stage of making “grain maple sugar” is to take the syrup boiled to the “blown” state (see Step 4 in maple sugaring) and stir it rapidly until it cools and has all crystallized into sugar.
If the cake type of maple sugar is desired, the syrup would be poured into molds. It takes approximately 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of maple syrup and 8 gallons of maple syrup to make a pound of maple sugar.
