Meyersdale is the home of not only my awesome family, but also, the Pennsylvania Maple Festival. I was lucky enough to attend this festival throughout my entire childhood and drink the sweet waters that we captured from the maple trees every spring. I highly suggest attending this annual early Spring festival, which features car shows, a parade, and SPOTZA!
However, if you feel 3,000 miles is too far to travel from LA to taste the gold of my childhood, then I guess you'll just have to follow my direction and host your own parade.
1 jar of pure maple syrup1 bowl of crushed ice
1 pkg of Lg condiment cups
1 pkg of wooden ice cream sticks
Boil down the maple syrup to the soft ball stage usually 238 degrees F. Dish out 3 tablespoons of crushed ice into each condiment cup. Pour 1 generous tablespoon of boiled down maple syrup over each cup of ice. Insert 1 wooden ice cream stick into each cup and serve! Use the ice cream stick to eat your spotza. Spotza is Pennsylvania Dutch for 'spot on the snow.'
