MAPLE WALNUT FUDGE-LOVE THAT MAPLE SYRUP

So we have lots of maple syrup in the house. Barb thought we should make some fudge for a work due she was to attend. It reminded her of her childhood so a recipe was found.

Using real Ontario maple syrup is a must. The recipe called for sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup.

The trick is boiling the mixture long enough while stirring it so it does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Let it cool for one hour. do not touch it or stir it! While cooling, crack some fresh walnuts.

Chop them very fine.

Adding the walnuts to the mixture, blending and stirring it in, Barb saved a few to use later.

It is important for the fudge not to solidify in the pot.

Barb put it on greased tin foil in the pan. She sprinkled some walnut flakes on top. Letting it set before cutting into bite size pieces. Really too sweet for me! Trying to find a substitute for the walnuts is important. She was taking it to her workplace so it was okay. With nut food allergies in the family, she would not make it with walnuts for a family dinner. But fudge is a fun activity. She told me as a child her Mom would make fudge often and everyone would fight over who would scrape the pot! Good for the cook to have someone else make a dish!!
