ingredients
What better way to cheer yourself up on a rainy day than by making a batch of fudge?
397 g can Sweetened Condensed Milk
150 ml (1/4 pint) milk
450 g (1 lb) demerara sugar
100 g (4 oz) butter
150 ml (1/4 pint) milk
450 g (1 lb) demerara sugar
100 g (4 oz) butter
method
1. Grease an 18cm (7 inch) square tin.
2. Gently heat all the ingredients in a large, nonstick saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously, until a temperature of 116°C (240°F) (soft ball stage) on a sugar thermometer. Alternatively, test the fudge by dropping a little into a jug of cold water. If a soft ball is formed, the fudge is ready.
