During the war, the women at my grandmother's church would donate sugar rations throughout the year so they'd have enough to make candy as a fund-raiser each Christmas. I'm lucky enough to have inherited this tried-and-true recipe. Dorothea Bohrer, Silver Spring, Maryland Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons butter, softened |
3-1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 cup water |
3 tablespoons maple flavoring |
Directions:
1. Grease a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with butter; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook over medium-high heat until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage), stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from the heat; stir in maple flavoring. Immediately pour into prepared pan; cool. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 1-3/4 pounds.
