After the cupcake frosting/icing complications last week, and the delicious frosting recipe from Ellen Van Alstine, I promised to post a recipe from Grandma's Recipe Box. I will post both an icing and a frosting recipe from her cookbook. Here is Grandma Pecar's recipe for Maple Icing:
1 cupful of maple syrup
2 egg whites
Boil syrup without stirring until it spins a thread and pour in a thin stream into stiffly beaten whites. Beat until stiff enough to spread.
The Mancelona Pecar's should have plenty of homemade maple syrup on hand to make this icing.

� · Theres an older lady at our church that makes a boiled frosting - don't know if its the same, but it's amazing. Kind of like eating merangue (sp?) before is it baked - - light and fluffy.
OMG An Angel just dropped in on this cold Sunday afternoon and left a plate of truly delicious cupcakes BEAUTIFULLY decorated with the boiled maple frosting. She told me the maple icing was soooo good they had leftover icing on pancakes today. YUM YUM YUM and Thank you so much for the special treat!
