Tire d'érable is a traditional Canadian treat made from maple syrup. It is created by boiling the syrup until it reaches a specific temperature, then pouring it over snow or crushed ice. The cold surface causes the syrup to harden into a chewy, candy-like consistency. This sweet delicacy is often enjoyed during sugar shacks or maple festivals, where people gather to celebrate the maple syrup harvest. It is typically served on a stick, allowing for easy enjoyment. Tire d'érable is a beloved part of Canadian culture, especially in the province of Quebec.
