    Title: Maple Fondant
    Categories: Canadian, Candy
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 c Sugar
    1 c Maple syrup
    1/2 c Water; boiling

    Put sugar, maple syrup, and water into a saucepan over gentle heat.
    Stir until sugar is dissolved then boil, not too briskly, to soft
    ball stage (235?F). Remove from heat; let stand a few minutes then
    pour carefully on a warm buttered platter. Let stand until almost
    cold, beat with a stiff case knife until it changes color. Gather up
    before it stiffens, knead until very smooth; put into a bowl, cover
    closely; let stand several hours.

    Note:

    Syrup should not be stirred during boiling; crystals should be
    removed from sides of saucepan with a piece of cheesecloth tied
    around the prongs of a fork and dipping into boiling water; sudden
    change of temperature causes hot syrup to crystalize.
