Grandma's Maple Fudge

Remember when Terri topped her Canada Week donuts with her Grandma's maple fudge? Turns out, maple fudge is also a big part of Terri's holiday baking tradition. Here's the recipe.

We asked the bakers for their favourite holiday recipe. Terri gave us two!

Terri makes her grandma's maple fudge every year as a holiday treat. On the show, she used this recipe to top her maple donuts. (The Great Canadian Baking Show)

I change up my cookies and treats every year, but there are two recipes that are always in the rotation: my ginger molasses cookies (inspired by my grandma's recipe) and maple fudge. In fact, I actually made both these recipes as part of The Great Canadian Baking Show: the chewy ginger molasses cookies came with me to the audition, and my grandma's maple fudge was used as a topper on my maple cream donuts during Canada Week.

Grandma's Maple Fudge

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups brown sugar
½ cup maple sugar
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1 cup evaporated milk      
4 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt  
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup pecans (finely chopped)

Preparation:

Grease a 9" pie plate generously with butter, and set aside.

Place all ingredients except pecans and vanilla in a large pot (as this does bubble up a bit). Place on stove over medium-high heat, stirring continuously for about 15 minutes.

Once it's thick and becoming difficult to stir, immediately remove from heat (do not overcook). Quickly add pecans and vanilla and stir to evenly distribute.

Pour fudge in the prepared pie plate and spread into an even layer. Leave to harden and set. Remove from pie plate and cut into pieces.
