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.

1 1/2 cpure maple syrup
-
1 3/4 csugar

2/3 cheavy cream or 1 can 5 oz evaporated milk
-
1/4 tspsalt

1/2 stickunsalted butter, cubed

1 tspvanilla

How to Make Maple-Nut Fudge
- Line an 8 inch square baking pan with non-stick foil. Coat foil with cooking spray

- Bring to boiling over medium high heat stirring. Once boiling cook 7 to 8 minutes or until mixture registers 238 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- Remove 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 - Stir in nuts and spread into prepared pan
