=================
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup cream
1/3 cup of butter
1/4 cup of maple syrup
pinch of salt
vanilla
. Add the two sugars, butter and cream maple syrup and salt into a sauce
pan. Place over medium heat. Stir while bringing to a boil. Lower the
heat and continue to stir slowly while the mixture cooks. After about
7 minutes, test by pouring a small amount into some cold water. You
want it to form a soft ball. You might need to cook it for another
minute or two. Remove from the heat, add a couple of teaspoons of
vanilla and start stirring. It takes about 14 or 15 minutes for the
fudge to cool and thicken. Pour into buttered dish.

Option: Replace the cream and cup of white sugar with one can of
Sweetened Condensed Milk and increase the maple syrup to 1 cup.

Servings: 4

You're welcome June.

This is definitely on my Must Make Soon list!

I've made three batches of this using the subst. of sweetened condensed milk and increasing the maple syrup to a cup.

I found grade #1 maple syrup produced a nicer flavor. Thanks for this recipe!

Oh, and if you don't beat it very much you have a lovely chewy 'toffee'.

Here is my my father's recipe for Maple Fudge. This recipe is older then me and I'm 54. He grew up in New Hampshire and Vermont, maple syrup country. I have been making it now for 28 years. It is a Christmas favorite.

Thanks Aptos for another recipe! My brothers are going to be thrilled this Xmas.
