Justamere Tree Farms Golden Maple syrup, Maple Fudge
The sugaring season has started with a bang. The sap ran for 4 days almost nonstop. We could hardly keep up and then the weather turned cold and the sap stopped flowing. Now we will try to catch up on things around the farm.
Also they aired our segment with Martha Stewart again on Friday March 7th so in between sugaring we are processing orders.
Meanwhile, I could not wait to try some maple fudge with fresh syrup. J.P. and I needed a little kick, so off to the kitchen I went to try this fudge, which I want to share with all of you! It is so good with the delicious taste of maple syrup sweetness.
MAPLE FUDGE
2 cups maple syrup ( Justamere’s Grade A Syrup)
1 Tblsp. Light corn syrup
¾ cup nuts (only if you prefer)
1 Tblsp. butter
¾ cup cream
Combine maple syrup, corn syrup, cream, and place over low flame. Stir constantly until mixture starts to boil. Continue cooking without stirring until small amounts of syrup form a soft ball in cold water, or reach 236 degrees F. Remove from heat. Add butter. Do not stir and cool until lukewarm. Then beat until mixture thickens and loses its glossiness. Add nuts and pour into greased pan.
I added a bittersweet chocolate ( melted in a double boiler) on the top of the fudge which I thought added a great touch . Yum!
P.S. I am not a fan of corn syrup, but it sure works in this recipe. Oh well, we can’t always be a perfectionist.
