Hi. I think I followed the directions but am finding that my maple cream is very hard and sticky. I can barely stir it. Also, a lot of it has hardened on the side of the pan... wasting quite a bit. Any suggestions?

can you clarify how long you would process the maple cream for shelf storage--Is 10 min in boiling water bath adequate? and does it change the consistency at all?
thanks

Any reason that you add the cream to this? All of the maple cream/butter I have ever had was 100% pure maple syrup, as are all of the other recipes I see online.

Sorry for the delayed reply; I've been out of the country for the past week.
The cream keeps the foaming under control. You can heat the syrup without the cream and will work exactly the same way. If it doesn't seem to be in danger of boiling over, no need to add it. But if it's bubbling up precariously close to the top, just add it in and it will calm everything down.

I'd also like to know processing time for canning please. Water bath or pressure canned? Thanks!

Why not just cool it to the 55-60, rather than the lower temp and have to raise it again? I don't understand this extra step.

Maple syrup keeps indefinitely in the freezer and for months on end in the refrigerator, before it is creamed that is. So can't imagine that creaming it changes it shelf life at all. I buy the stuff by the gallon when we are in Maine and keep it in the freezer and pour it up a quart at a time.
We take our maple seriously too. I made maple cream candies two weeks ago and they were divine. Cream maple syrup has been on my list for a couple of months. This technique is slightly different so I might try it first as it seems a bit easier.
