 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      c             maple syrup
  3      c             light brown sugar
  1      c             sugar
  2      tbsp          baking powder
  1      c             milk AND
  1      c             35% cream OR
  2      c             15% cream
  1      tbsp          butter
  2      tsp           vanilla
                       nuts to taste

Place all ingredients except the last three in a large saucepan. Cook over
medium heat, stirring constantly. The syrup will swell at the beginning of
the cooking, but it will soon go down.

The fudge will be done when a candy thermometer reaches 240 degrees F or
when a drop of it in cold water remains soft. Let the fudge cool, then add
butter, vanilla and nuts, and stir until creamy. Spread into a buttered pan.

NOTES : In French Quebec there are as many recipes for this maple fudge as
there are bean recipes in Boston. This one is superb.
