Maple Fudge

There are only three ingredients in this old-time maple fudge—pure maple syrup, milk and nuts.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 cups pure maple syrup
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Cooking Directions:

1. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.
2. Combine maple syrup and milk in a heavy saucepan. Boil mixture, stirring occasionally, to the soft ball stage, or 238°F (115°C) on the candy thermometer.
3. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm without stirring.
4. With a heavy wooden spoon, beat until mixture starts to become thickened and creamy. Stir in nuts.
5. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan, spreading mixture out evenly. Score with knife. Let cool until firm and cut into 1-inch pieces. Store in airtight container in a cool place.

Makes 64 (1-inch) squares.
