maple fudge

[Char Finamore]

I am trying to help a friend locate a recipe for maple fudge, made with REAL maple syrup. Every recipe I find calls for maple flavoring. Anyone have a recipe?

I have never made any of these but here is something to start with

Ingredients:
2 cups maple syrup
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3/4 cup light cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:
Butter an 8x8 inch dish.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, corn syrup and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Then heat without stirring to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.

Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.

Beat mixture until it thickens and loses its gloss. Quickly fold in vanilla and nuts and spread in prepared pan. Let cool completely before cutting.

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

Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; set aside.

1. 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.
2. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm without stirring.
3. With a heavy wooden spoon, beat until mixture starts to become thickened and creamy. Stir in nuts.
4. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan, spreading mixture out evenly. Score with knife. Let cool until firm and cut into pieces. Store in airtight container in a cool place.

Makes about 1 1/4 pounds.
