Maple Syrup Candy


 




1 cup maple sugar

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup walnut halves (or any nut)

and/or  1 cup dried apricots or prunes 

Directions: Place maple syrup and water in a small, deep saucepan and heat slowly, without stirring, to the softball stage (238 F. on a candy thermometer.)

Remove from the heat.

Drop the walnuts into the hot syrup. Turn gently with a spoon so they are evenly coated. 

Remove to aluminum foil with a slotted spoon. 

Repeat with the apricots. 

If the syrup begins to harden, heat just long enough to melt it again. 

Cool nuts and fruit to room temperature and serve.
