**In the North country the people make one of the aristocrats of
sweets, maple syrup. It cooks down to a delicious candy, but is
delicate, so watch

In a heavy saucepan put the maple syrup and butter.

Cook to 260  on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add the
vanilla. Stir well and pour over the popped corn. Shape into balls.

Both pecans and walnuts are good with maple, it's hard to say which
is better. You may wish to include a few of your favorite.
