QUEBEC SUGAR PIE

“Quebec sugar pie has as many versions as cooks but tradition demands that the filling be somewhat thin in consistency and, because of its richness, that the depth of filling be much less than for pies in general. Nowadays the maple sugar version denotes that spring is on the way.”

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Prepare sufficient pastry and line a 9-inch pie plate. Trim, flute edge, but do not prick.

Bring to a boil over low heat:
2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
2 cups soft maple sugar, chopped
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream

Cook, stirring slowly, for 10 minutes, or until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in:
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Cool. Pour into prepared pie shell.

Bake in 375 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Cool. Filling will set when cold.
