Daughter #1 attends kindergarten at a nearby international school and this week they celebrated their international flavour with a potluck lunch where each student was asked to bring a dish that represented their home country. Here is the million dollar question - what exactly is a truly Canadian dish? We thought of three possibilities; poutine, maple fudge or Canada Dry Ginger Ale (the specialty markets sell Canada Dry for about $2 a can) ... We settled on making maple fudge (thanks to J's mom for bringing maple flavouring back in February).
Neither J nor I are known for our culinary skills so as you can imagine it didn't quite go as planned. The first batch was more of a syrup than fudge. The second attempt was a lot more successful but unfortunately it didn't have time to fully set before I had to take it to the school (even the fridge isn't much help when the kitchen is 45 degrees). Nonetheless, the fudge was a big hit. After all, how can you go wrong with pure butter and sugar?
