You really can't beat an old fashioned maple sugar candy recipe to make the best maple candies you have ever tasted. There is nothing like the delicious taste of maple sugar in a homemade candy. It's an awesome old time treat.
Early cookbooks often featured homemade candy recipes that called for ingredients that people could find locally, often on their own farm, and these delicious maple candy recipes are no exception. To provide a ready source of maple sugar, many pioneer farm families tapped their own sugar maples when the springtime sap began to run. Nowadays, pure maple syrup can be bought at most local supermarkets and specialty food stores online.

Maple Sugar Candy RecipesThese old time maple candy recipes are taken from one of Mom's old recipe scrapbooks, circa 1929.
Maple Sugar CandyBoil until brittle, 1 cup maple sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon butter, pinch of salt, a little flavouring. Pour into greased pan, crease, and cool. One cup nutmeats may be added just before pouring into pans. --Fruit and Candies
Maple Sugar CreamsMix two pounds of finely broken maple sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and a cup of boiling water. Boil in a granite or porcelain-lined kettle until when a little is dropped in cold water it will form a soft ball. Set the kettle away until the syrup is almost cold, then beat until creamy, and pour into a shallow tin; cut into squares.
Maple Sugar Walnut CreamsTake one-half as much water as maple sugar. Cook without stirring. When nearly done add butter size of a walnut. Try in cold water, when it begins to harden, stir until it waxes. When cool enough to handle make in small balls with walnut meats each side. --Mrs. F. H. Coman, Pan-American Recipes
Maple Sugar Praline Recipe1-7/8 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup cream, 2 cups nutmeats. Boil sugar, syrup, and cream to soft ball stage. Remove from fire, beat to creamy consistency, add nuts, and drop from tip of spoon in small pieces on buttered paper.
Maple Sugar Fondant RecipeTwo cups maple sugar, 1 cup white sugar, 1-1/2 cups boiling water, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. Stir ingredients together, heat slowly to boiling point; then boil without stirring until a soft ball will form when dropped into a little cold water.
Pour fondant into a shallow pan, and let stand a few minutes to cool, but not long enough to become hard around the edge; stir with a wooden paddle until creamy. It will quickly change from this consistency and begin to lump, when it should be kneaded with the hands until perfectly smooth.
Put into a bowl, cover with oiled paper and let stand for 24 hours, if possible. It will then be found easier to use. Always make fondant on a clear, dry day. --Fruits and Candies, circa 1920
Maple Sugar Candy RecipeFanny Farmer's maple nut candy recipe is taken from "The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" by Fannie Merritt Farmer, Principal of the Boston Cooking School, published by Little, Brown and Company, Boston, circa 1916.
1 lb soft maple sugar, 1/4 cup boiling water, 3/4 cup thin cream, 2/3 cup English walnut or pecan meat, cut in pieces. Break sugar in pieces; put into a saucepan with cream and water. Bring to boiling-point, and boil until a soft ball is formed when tried in cold water. Remove from fire, beat until creamy, add nutmeat, and pour into a buttered tin. Cool slightly, and mark in squares.
