Good morning blogging friends. There isn't anything necessarily Christmasy about this fudge, but that said, I have been making it every year for Christmas for a long time now.
My mother loves fudge so as a stocking filler I started making this for her and now it's just a given that she will get a jar full. Put in a pretty jar or placed in some cellophane bags (there's lots of different sizes on Amazon) tied with a bow, it makes the perfect gift. This Rachel Allen recipe is my favourite.
Fudge
1x375g tin of condensed milk
100g butter
450g caster sugar
Place the condensed milk, butter and sugar in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for about 10 minutes, stirring all the time, until it reaches a soft ball stage. To test for this, put 1/2 a teaspoonfull of the fudge into a bowl of cold water, it should be firm but malleable.
Remove from heat and sit the bottom of the pan in a sink/bowl of cold water that comes 2-3 cm up the outside of the pan. Stir until the fudge cools and goes thick and grainy.
Scrape out the contents into a 8x8 inch tin. Flatten out the fudge until its about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Let cool and cut into squares.
If you would like to add some flavouring to your fudge such as vanilla, peppermint, coffee etc. you can add a drop or two in at the start. I usually just leave it plain.
I would love to hear if you have a favourite Christmas treat that you like to make. Thanks for stopping by :)
