CHEF COMMENTS

** 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 your heat!!

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.

For diabetic use, why not try Cary's SF syrup?
