JACK WAX
from www.syracuse.com; posted for Zaar World Tour. When poured on fresh snow, maple syrup becomes a taffy that can be scooped by hand or with a fork. This syrup-snow taffy is called "jack wax." Traditionally, this treat was the feature of the "sugaring off" party held at the sugar house to celebrate the end of the syrup harvest. If it's not snowing in your community, use crushed ice. The above is taken from the web-site where I found the recipe (if it can be called that!)

Steps:
- Fill up a 9X13 cake pan with clean snow, and pack it down.
- Heat maple syrup to 230 degrees F. This is the soft ball stage if using a candy thermometer. If you don't have a candy thermometer, let the syrup gently boil for about 20 minutes. (If you don't get the syrup heated to the softball stage, you will end up with jack wax that is more like a slushy (see the picture of the little girl with her hand reaching for the jack wax. If you get it to the softball stage, the syrup will turn to taffy when it hits the snow. Either way taste good -- just different!).
- While syrup is hot, slowly pour over snow in a back-and-forth motion. The syrup will turn in to a taffy-like candy, and you can eat it with your fingers.

HOMEMADE CRACKER JACK
A salty-sweet, caramel-coated popcorn often eaten at baseball games, Cracker Jack is one of the many well-known confections from Chicago. While molasses-covered popcorn was already popular in the Northeast, the creation of Cracker Jack's special formula is credited to German brothers Frederick William and Louis Rueckheim. Besides coming up with the signature combination of popcorn, molasses and peanuts, they even devised a special package to keep it fresh and crisp. By the late 1800s, the snack was so loved that their company was producing four-and-a-half tons a day. This homemade version is best enjoyed the day it's made, though it will keep for up to three days in an airtight container. Use large, red-skinned peanuts in this recipe if you can find them, as the skins lend a pleasant bitterness that works well with the molasses-caramel coating.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 250 degrees and grease two large rimmed baking sheets with neutral oil.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons neutral oil and 2 kernels to a large pot. Cover and heat over medium. Once you hear those first two kernels pop, add the remaining kernels, cover and cook, shaking occasionally, until the popping slows down, about 4 to 6 minutes. You should hear a few seconds of silence between pops. Remove from the heat.
- Transfer the popcorn to a large, heatproof bowl and discard any unpopped kernels. Add the peanuts to the popcorn and toss to combine. Set the vanilla and baking soda near the stove for easy access.
- In a small saucepan, stir the butter, brown sugar, molasses and salt over medium until the butter melts. Once the butter has melted, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and cook the mixture, undisturbed, until the temperature reaches 248 degrees.
- Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla and baking soda. The mixture will become foamy. Immediately pour it over the popcorn and use a wooden spoon to coat it evenly.
- Spread the popcorn out onto the two prepared baking sheets. Bake until the mixture is dry, about 20 to 25 minutes, tossing occasionally. The mixture will dry out as it cools but may still be slightly sticky. Sprinkle with a bit more salt, to taste.
- Let the popcorn cool completely. It's best enjoyed the day it's cooked, but you can also store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
