this is indeed a french-canadian/québecois classic. interesting that the french version calls for "sucre d'érable"' and not "sirop d'érable" (Maple SUGAR and not Maple SYRUP) as it is something that exists too. Have you looked into getting actual maple sugar to make a batch?

Brown Sugar Fudge I make the fudge recipe from the Marie Nightingale cookbook. About 8 batches each year at Christmas. 4 cups brown sugar. 1 cup evaporated milk 1/4 cup butter 2 tbsp beehive corn syrup I boil to 240 F stirring all the time. Remove from heat and cool to 110, add 1 TSP vanilla and beat until it firms up and looses the gloss. I put into 8 x 8 inch pan that has been buttered. Flatten it out and score with a knife. As a rule, I only make it on days with clear skies, because humidity plays havoc with crystallization. This stuff is stable at room temp. Love the channel.

Whenever I’ve made candy, outside weather conditions can impact results. I always boil a pot of water first and measure the boiling temperature. Depending on the conditions of the weather, it can boil at slightly different temperature than 100 C. Whatever the difference you notice during the water boil, apply the same difference to the goal temperature.

My grandmother in Montreal made Sucre a la crème every Xmas. This was her recipe and she gave away boxes to all the children. To this day I remember how buttery sweet it was, could only have 2 pieces at a time otherwise your teeth would fall off. Her recipe came from the book Cuisine Raisonnée. I also never heard her talk about measurements in this recipe, it is almost as if she knew it all by heart.

One of my regular customers, where I work, occasionally brings this in as a gift for the staff, usually around Christmas. She's maybe in her late 60s or 70s, and she usually scatters walnuts on top, and she calls it "Wartime Fudge", because that's what she learned to make it as, as a kid. When I asked her for the recipe one day, however, she wrote it down for me, and my French Canadian co-worker, when she spotted it, immediately identified it as Sucre à la Crème. I'm happy to have more details about how to make it, since the recipe she wrote down was a bit vague on details.

My mom’s Bonaventure, Québec recipe from circa 1900 is 1 cup heavy cream and 2 cups brown sugar. It’s supposed to be dry solid but crumbly texture like a 2-5 year old cheddar. And if you want to try the most amazing best ever caramel-ish sauce for (white) cake or vanilla ice cream, just prepare this and bring it to a boil and then serve it over the cake.

Those French Canadians love their sweets, eh? My brother-in-law's family liked to make "sugar pie". I never had it but as far as I can tell, it was something similar to this baked in a pie crust. And yes, if you were a rural person living around the Great Lakes, you could tap a couple dozen maple trees, boil down the sap and get enough syrup for the whole year. (40 gallons sap = 1 gallon syrup, 10-20 gallons of sap/tree.)

@@ammarkhan8547 The recipe is very simple, the key is getting the temperature correct and mixing it properly. I make my own clotted cream but store bought is fine. 230g clotted cream, 275g caster sugar, 75g golden syrup or other sugar syrup replacement available in your part of the world. Heat it all in a pan until dissolved then stop stirring and bring to a boil over a low heat, don't do it over a high flame. Once boiling put a lid on the pan and leave it for 3-4 minutes, remove the lid and start checking the temperature then whilst it continues to boil, aim for around 116-120c depending how firm you want the final product to be, I would go for 116 as it is extremely smooth and soft. Take off the heat at 116c, leave to cool for a while until it is roughly between 80-90c - at this stage you can add any flavourings, I just go with vanilla - then use an electric beater (or by hand with a spoon but it is really hard work as it takes ages) and beat it until it starts to thicken up, it will be obvious when. Then I just pour/scoop it into a lined dish to set completely and put it in the fridge over night for the best results. Then cut it however you like and enjoy!

I'm an amateur maple syrup maker, and the temperature things happen at will depend on the atmospheric pressure on the day you make this. The temperature maple sap becomes maple syrup during boiling will depend on this. So I imagine pressure will affect when things happen with this recipe. For example, some days maple syrup is done at 217F and some days its at 219F.

We never had a sucre à la crème tradition in my family. I know my mother tried it a few times when I was very young, but she had the same problem as your first batch and it wouldn't set, so she got discouraged and stopped trying. When I was about 10 years old, my sister got for Christmas a recipe book for kids and we used to cook together her and I. In the book, there was this sucre à la crème recipe with peanut butter in it, and it was very forgiving, so we made batches and batches of it and it became my go to recipe for the longest time. It was only white sugar and milk (not even cream) that you would boil for something like 5 minutes and then add a lot of peanut butter in it and leave it to set. I've not made it in years, so I don't remember quite well, and I don't know what happened to the recipe book. I'd have to ask my sister. I've seen modern recipe that will use a bit of white chocolate stirred in at the end to make the sucre à la crème extra velvety. I've yet to try it. I think it's because I don't have as much a of a sweet tooth anymore that I've never tried to do it again.

This must be what my Scottish Gran used to make. She never told me the name of it. When I asked her HOW to make it, she said it was nothing, just cream, & sugar. But she didn't give me the "recipe" either! I was a teenager, and for some reason I thought there was always time to learn it later. Of coarse, I was wrong about that. But one thing my Gran did with this treat was to add food coloring - mint green, and light pink (she didn't use maple syrup). Then she used a mold that was a small leaf, like these 🍃. They were so special, those tiny pink and green leaves. A nice childhood memory. Thanks Glen ❤

She use to portion hers out and seal them in individual bags to sell at the flea market. They sometimes did not last till the doors opened! The other sellers knew her “fudge”. This was New Brunswick so their was not a big tradition of sucre a la cream.

There are two schools of thought amongst recipe historians about maple sugar Vs. maple syrup - many contend that when recipes call for 'maple sugar', they are in fact asking for maple syrup. In the end both work, you just need to boil longer when using the syrup; the mixture won't attain the desired temperature until the extra water from the syrup is boiled off, leaving the end result the same.

Bonjour du Québec. Very good description and fascinating! Thank you for taking our culture seriously. I noticed in th 67 version it says "sucre d'érable" but you used "sirop d'érable" these are two different things...sucre d'érable is a powder, it's been boiled much more than sirop. I should say that I've never made "Sucre à la crème"! Subscribed! There's a saying in Québec "Si tu veux du sucre à la crème, il faut que tu t'en fasses" which translates to "If you want to taste sucre à la crème... you have to make it yourself" hahah. There is a deep truth to that.

You let it boil until hard-ball stage which you then mix by hand into whipped egg whites;. Always came out snow-white, could hold its shape, but crumbly at the same time, and would melt in your mouth. When I make it now I liked to add lemon or almond extract, and it makes it even more delicious.

When I was a kid, we used to get various candy at department store candy counters (like Holmes and Maison Blanche). There was a coconut candy that looked very much like that and was like a coconut fudge. And there was another white clear coconut candy that seemed to be mostly sugar. I loved both of them but haven't seen them in decades. Not sure what they were, but I bet they might be tangentially related to these sorts of tricks with sugar. That looks really good.

Hi Glen We were a poor family in the 1950 and we couldn't afford paying for maple syrup and for a lot of stuff. My mother saved all year to be able to get the ingredients required to make ‘’Sucre à la crème’’ for Noël. But there is no ‘’crème’’ in it, other than butter 1/4 lb butter, 3 cups brown sugar (dark cassonnade) 6 oz can of evaporated carnation milk and 1 lbs of icing sugar. Mix butter, cassonnade & carnation, bring to a boil for 5 minutes then, then stir in icing sugar and pour in a one inch tight pan let cool. Then cut in one inch square. So mabe you would like to test it. Don't ask for more detail this all I have in a old written book.

A suggestion if you’re going to try the “tarte au sucre” (sugar pie), do it side by side with a “tarte à la farlouche” (raisins, molasses, brown sugar). That’d be sweet!

Sounds delicious! Your “failed” batch looks like it turned out almost more the texture of a massive chewy praline, minus the pecans :)

My mother's "Sucre à la crème" was fantastic, she did it with 35% crème with cassonade and with a little vanilla extract and then added chopped walnut just before putting it in the mold, she would do this often, but when it was around special holidays, she would have to do 3 to 4 of these receipts, because my mother's family was by now consisting of 80 ppl around, and if god forbid any of the family members did not have a few pieces to take home with them it would cause near havoc! Of course, she would have to do her chocolate fudge again, making 3 or 4 of them. She even did "Tire Ste-Catherine" at home and us 2 brothers would be so popular bringing that to school around "Haloween time." About Maple syrup, my mother's families all live in town, but they own a country home, near a river and we could go there yearly long, the river froze winter time, we took "Skydo" and cross the river, anyway, springtime we all go there and make our maple syrup for each family which was enough to last until the next year. All of us younger members would have had so much fun there, from late spring until late fall, our heated pool was so much fun. We could go fishing, play tennis, the land where the country house was huge, the main house had a huge dining room with a table so long it was all the younger members first then adults, 2 huge gas ovens working full time. 6 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms and an immense living room all the furniture was Victorian, Art Nouveau, or Art Deco, with crystal chandeliers. the newer country house was very modern but made to look like a swiss chalet with 3 stories. With a total of 10 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, we all love going there every weekend. Oh, BTW when in town all the families live within 6 blocks of each other. This is funny because I'm 68 now, my brother and I live in our parent's home, and many of our remaining families who are still alive do live within those 6 blocks from us. My only big regrets is that darn Covid which made all of us very hard to visit each other like we did before.

We make Tablet often and the secret to keeping it a long time (so you don't gorge on it) is to pack it like taffy in little parchment twists and then vacuum seal in pouches that you then freeze. I usually make each vacuum pouch hold 12 pieces and that satisfies most people but doesn't let you get sick from too much sugar. I bet the temperature guide in the 1960s cook book is based on a glass/mercury candy thermometer which usually reads low. I still have my mother's candy thermometer from 1962 (it has the manufacturer's information on it) and that thing is about 10 degrees off and it's a mercury thermometer. I had one of those alcohol ones with the red goo in it and it was nearly 50 degrees off. My grandmother and great aunts scoffed at the use of a thermometer- they did the drops in water and that worked for them. Then again, the youngest amongst them was born in 1926... But also remember relative humidity can be absolute murder on working with sugar products.

Hi Glen & Jules. A dear friend from Sherbrooke makes an incredible maple dessert called ‘Grand Pere’. Basically, buttery dumplings poached in maple syrup. You can also substitute fruit or other syrups. It’s deadly. I’ve also taken equal parts of heavy cream and maple syrup and reduced them slowly to a sumptuous thickness. Yum. My family made our own syrup. It’s in my dna. :)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the comments is what to do, if it comes out too soft, like Glen's 1st attempt. The surefire way I found is to add at back to a Pot on low heat and melt at back down again. Then add 1/4 cup of cream and 2 Tbsp of Corn Syrup (invert sugar) and hit your 116 Deg C (240F) upper limit and then let cool to 44 deg C (110 F) again. Mix until it lightens in color and loses shine. Transfer to greased/parchment pan and let cool and solidify. My main encountered issue with this recipe is when you start mixing @44 deg C (110 F) it will sometimes seem to "reliquify" too much. Meaning after mixing a little the temp in the mixture went back above 44C (110F). I learned to let it cool another few minutes if I notice it going soft during that step. Hope this helps you get better results

I have a 2003 version of this book. It’s called La Cuisne Raisonnée - Nouvelle Version Abrégée. The recipe is written almost identical as your 1967 version, except the 2003 version gives temperatures only in Celsius and it says to pour the mix, in a 30 X 20 cm buttered pan. 112 Celsius (instead of 256 Fahrenheit in your book), and let it cool until 44 Celsius, (instead of 110 Fahrenheit in the 1967 version)

Hello from Montreal! In my family we use cream and brown sugar with just a dab of butter in the rim of the pan. The recipe is from m’y great grand mother. I stop the cooking at 240F and dont mix it till it get at 100F (that I have learn in classes at ITHQ) It gives very smooth squares of sucre à la crème, not grainy at all. Thanks again for your vidéo. May I ask what brand of saucepan that your are using for your recopie, fort I dont recognise the logo ? Sorry for my poor english writing. Bonne journée from Montréal ....

Bonjour friends, As usual, you nailed it ! The question of maple/brown sugar; it’s regional. For us “the north shore”east of Saguenay. Maple was hard to get. Temperature was so perplexing , My mother would take spoon full of the boiling “stuff” ,in a saucer,and vigorously stirring to cool it down faster . Let’s say we never had two batch the same ! Your undercook batch would have end up as “icing”on a super heavy cake . À la revoiyure .

I'm from Quebec and I usually make it with Brown Sugar Cream and butter. Also my mother can't make sucre a la creme it always end up runny mine always sets like my grandmother. My mother says the knowhow skips a generation. I don't know it's that's true but she was never able to do things like sucre a la creme and bread and I kinda wing it and make it.

That's very similar to what my grandfather used to make. More to the acadian side, we called it Tamara; he would boil the mix to a certain temp, let it cool outside, and then pull it for a long time. The color would change to a gold from a dark brown. Maybe your thoughts on temperature was spot on - high temp makes a harder finished product!

I am Quebecois and my mother makes Sucre à la crème in the microwave. It's apparently hard to nail however it makes the best texture and also makes it perfectly uniform. Funny enough she's only able to make it perfectly in her own microwave (the appliance is 30+ years old).

There was no Christmas in my rural QC home without Sucre à' crème (we don't really pronounce the "la"), Fudge, Tourtière Ragoût de boulettes (and turkey) and beets and, of course, cretons on my toasts in the morning (but i ate creton about 300 days a year in my childhood really). As for sucre à la crème I have tasted so many different kinds. Some are very hard and dry and some very soft and melty. And honestly, I'd have to ask my mother but I don't think we used that much maple syrup (even though we always had many cans at home). I'll ask her to send me her receipe as well as my grandmother's which was very different.

I asked my mother (apparently she never made any), and she said the one I had was mostly my grandmother's. She used brown sugar instead of maple sugar and carnation milk instead of cream because she hated cream. Also the more I think about it I'm pretty sure no one around me used maple syrup. The receipe you quote says Maple sugar, and since this as never been as common as Maple syrup or maple butter, I think most people used cassonade (brown sugar) instead of sub. the sugar for syrup.

I had a room mate whose grand mother sent her Sucre A La Creme some 30 years ago which I have never forgotten, but it was more of a spread, it was so good I have never forgotten it. And to my delight the instruction is there, Sucre A La Creme Liquide. So decadent. How to make that, mystery solved. Merci beaucoup.

My grandmother used to make a version of maple sugar candy that was dark brown and had the same texture as this. We have Scottish blood from 17th century immigrants who came from west of Glasgow. You've got me wondering if it was basically the same recipe, just with all maple syrup instead of splitting it with sugar? We lived in upstate NY close to Vermont, so maple syrup was easy to come by. I never thought I'd figure that recipe out, as she left no record of it, but I'm going to try this! Thanks so much for making it!
