It makes me feel very connected to my grandmother when I make this recipe every Christmas. She used to make it and give it out to neighbours and friends over the holidays as well. My Grandma passed away when I was only 3 but I still have such vivid memories of her. The way her cold cream smelled and her thick lipstick. I like knowing that I am keeping her tradition alive. What traditions are you passing on? Who did they come from? Challenge yourself to dig up an old family recipe this week and enjoy the trip down memory lane.
Grandma Hick's Creamy Maple Candy
4 Cups Brown Sugar
1 Cup Cereal Cream
3 tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of baking soda
Cook sugar, cream and butter to a soft ball. Do not scrape the sides of your pot during cooking. Once heated add a pinch of baking soda and the vanilla. Beat on high speed until spoon leaves a mark in the mixture. Pour into lined baking pan. Try to resist sampling until it is cooled...just kidding it is so yummy when it is warm why wait.
