Hard Maple Candy

By: Dorothea Bohrer

"During the war, the women at my grandmother's church would donate sugar rations throughout the year so they'd have enough to make candy as a fund-raiser each Christmas. I'm lucky enough to have inherited this tried-and-true recipe. --Dorothea Bohrer, Silver Spring, Maryland"
