Corn-meal mush does not absolutely require fresh cream or milk when served. It is good eaten with butter and very nourishing. Many like it with maple-syrup or common molasses. Time is required to make well-cooked mush; at least one hour will be necessary.
If we're after maple-syrup we let it cool when it gets thick and later bottle it; but if we want sugar we must boil the syrup still more until little crystals form in it." "How can you tell when it has been boiled enough?" questioned Van. "Oh, we've made it enough times to know," David replied.
The expedition was a failure! They could study the making of neither maple-syrup nor cider, and Elizabeth Eliza was lost, perhaps forever! The sun went down, and Mr. and Mrs. Peterkin still stood to look up and down the road. ... Elizabeth Eliza meanwhile, had sat upon her trunk, as it seemed for ages.
One warm March morning the mistress thought she heard some one in the back room, and supposing that a neighbor had come in, opened the door. The intruder was no stranger to the family, for there was Black Bruin, standing on his hind legs, licking off the sticky outside of a maple-syrup pail. He had remembered his old delight in syrup.
A day at grandfather's would give them the whole process of the apple, from the orchard to the cider-mill. In this way they could widen the field of study, even to follow in time the cup of coffee to Java. It was suggested, too, that at grandfather's they might study the processes of maple-syrup as involved in the griddle-cakes.
To be sure, the first one stuck and scorched, because she forgot the butter, but after that first failure all went well, and six capital little cakes were safely landed in a dish. "I think I like maple-syrup better than sugar," said Demi, from his arm-chair where he had settled himself after setting the table in a new and peculiar manner.
We take hot soapstones and rugs and robes, and we go only twelve miles, to a farmhouse where we get a hot supper oysters and hot biscuit and maple-syrup, and all sorts of good things. You must go." "If I only could!" sighed Evelyn. "I'm so afraid they won't think I can." "They will, if you think you can," asserted Jeff. "You're up to it, aren't you? You needn't do a thing.
At one moment only this movement is apparent, then suddenly the mass begins to boil furiously all over the surface, and you hear dimly the sound of the bursting bubbles and the crash of the falling lava. When this takes place, the black floating masses are broken up and scattered as they are in boiling maple-syrup, but they quickly reunite, and are carried on by the current as before.
Peterkin were looking up and down the road, and Agamemnon and Solomon John were explaining to each other the details of their journeys, they had discovered some facts. "We shall have to go back," they exclaimed. "We are too late! The maple-syrup was all made last spring." "We are too early; we shall have to stay two or three months, the cider is not made till October."
They bathed, dressed, and almost before they knew it were at the table partaking of a hearty breakfast which was capped by heaps of golden brown pancakes rendered even more golden by the sea of maple-syrup in which they floated. "I'll never be able to climb anything after this meal," Van gasped as he left the table and was thrusting his arms into his sweater. Bob grinned.
