A lot of our maple syrup recipes come from the New England hill country but I have a few choice recipes from my moth- er's old cook book, which was handed down to Mama from her mother. These are treasures from the homes of yesteryear. Maple sugar and syrup were not the delicacy then that they are today. It appeared at almost every meal. On baking day a little crushed maple sugar and a few nuts popped into the bot- tom of heavily buttered muffin tins before putting in a ball of bread dough made yummy buns.

Sift flour with the soda salt and ginger and add to first mix„ Mix well and add melt- ed shortening. Beat all thor- oughly. Pour into greased cake pan about 9 x 9 and bake in 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, Serve warm with whipped cream. Sweeten to taste. MAPLE CANDIED SWEET POTATOES 6 large sweet potatoes (unpeel- ed) 2/3 cup maple syrup 1 teaspoon of salt 2 tablespoons butter 1 cup sweet apple cider Method: Wash potatoes and boil unpeeled until nearly ten- der. Drain and cool enough to handle. Peel and slice fairly generously, about 1 inch thick, and place in buttered baking dish. Add salt and butter to maple syrup, then add sweet cider and the water.

Add milk. Mix lightly and turn out on floured board. Knead very slightly into a smooth dough, roll out to about 1-inch :hick. Sprinkle dough with finely crushed maple sugar. MAPLE LAYER BISCUITS Fold dough over twice and roll out again to about 3/4 inch thick, Cut with round bis- cuit cutter and place in greas- ed baking pan.

Slice apples in thin slices about inch thick and arrange on dough. Roll like a jello roll and cut crosswise in 11 inch slices. Place side down in syrup in the baking pan.

However, one just cannot think of calories at a time like this, especially when it is our own Canadian maple sugar and syrup. Nancy Joan Slosser, Reg.
