LOOKING For Good Fudge Recipe

[norman and jean mulloy]

So Marie,
Did Ches eat it all yet?
How on earth did I miss this thread at the start?
Which recipe won?

Shannon
How big is a stick of butter? 4 to the pound?
Glad no one threw in a British recipe, They do everything by weight both pounds and grams, and use castor(?) sugar.

Don't try this at home:

1 Hot Summer Evening
1 8 year old girl
1 Teenage babysitter
1/2 pound butter
1 cup brown sugar

As child watches, bring butter and sugar to rolling boil, knock over pot, drop mixture on your own bare foot. Clean up mess before girl's parents return, watch foot blister before your very eyes. Avoid all future fudge recipes unless wearing proper footwear.

Oops, sorry, I see now you were looking for a GOOD fudge recipe.

Don't know why i never asked this before. What size of can? We used to get a can that was 2/3 of a cup. Now all i found today was a large can. Haven't made this in a while. Its a winner. Wish i had written a note on what size though. Merry Christmas . jean

So far folks have referred to granulated sugar, icing sugar, caster (castor) sugar, etc. I was curious as to the various forms of sugar and found the following link. Perhaps you'll be interested too. Types of Sugar, Confectioners Sugar, Icing Sugar, Granulated Sugar, Confectioners Sugar vs. Powdered Sugar vs. Icing Sugar, How To Substitute Confectioner's Sugar, What is Icing Sugar, What is Confectioners' Sugar, What is 10X Sugar, What is Powdered

Because you asked, here's a recipe for fudge from the BBC Food website done in liters/grams and includes caster sugar.

Fudge (From the BBC Food Website)
Ingredients:

• 300ml milk

• 350g caster sugar
• 100g unsalted butter
• 1tsp vanilla extract

Method:

1. 1. Grease an 18cm square tin
   2. Put the milk, sugar and butter in a heavy-based saucepan. Heat slowly, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved and butter has melted.
   3. Bring to the boil for 15-20 minutes, stirring all the time. When the mixture rises dramatically take it off the heat for 1 minute, stirring all the time until the mixture goes back down
   4. When the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (115 degrees on a temperature probe) remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
   5. Beat the mixture with a spoon for a few minutes until it starts to thicken and the gloss disappears. Pour the mixture immediately into the tin and leave to set at room temperature.
   6. Once set, cut the fudge into small pieces and store in a sealed container.
