I got this recipe ages ago and made it once at Christmas time. It smells wonderful and reminds me of the "maple" sugar leaf shapes My dad bought us when I was a child. You must use pure maple syrup, not maple flavored pancake syrup, to get the true authentic flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c
- pure maple syrup
- 1 3/4 c
- sugar
- 2/3 c
- heavy cream or 1 can 5 oz evaporated milk
- 1/4 tsp
- salt
- 1/2 stick
- unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tsp
- vanilla
- 1 c
- chopped walnuts
How to Make Maple-Nut Fudge
- 1Line an 8 inch square baking pan with non-stick foil. Coat foil with cooking spray
- 2Combine syrup, sugar, heavy cream and salt in a medium sized saucepan
- 3Bring to boiling over medium high heat stirring. Once boiling cook 7 to 8 minutes or until mixture registers 238 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- 4Remove pan from heat, with an electric mixer, beat in butter and vanilla.
Continue to beat on high for 8 to 9 minutes or until thickened, light in color and fudge loses its glossy finish - 5Stir in nuts and spread into prepared pan
Let stand until firm, about 25 minutes.
Cut into squares.
