Scald cream, dissolving into it the half cup maple sugar and quarter cup maple syrup (or use 0.75 cup maple syrup) and the salt. Chill overnight in a glass container. Freeze in a crank ice cream freezer, adding nuts and chopped hard maple sugar before the last 20 cranks. Pack and freeze until hard. Makes 3 pints.
