Maple-Sugar Candy. (No. 1.)

Take two pounds of maple sugar, broken into small pieces, and put it in a saucepan with a quart of rich milk - part cream is better. Let this boil until it reaches the stage where it hardens in cold water; pour it into pans, and mark it in squares as you would taffy or caramels. 31

Maple-Sugar Candy. (No. 2.)

One pound of maple sugar; one pint of milk ; one tablespoon-ful of butter. Break the sugar into small pieces and put it into a double boiler with the milk. Put it on the stove and cook until the sugar melts. Set the inner vessel of the double boiler directly on the stove and boil, stirring constantly, until the syrup reaches the stage where a little dropped in cold water becomes brittle. Add your butter then, and when this is melted turn the syrup into greased pans. As it cools, mark it off in squares with a knife.
