Fudge
Funny, now that I am about to leave I become very South African with my cooking.
After the pumpkin fritters here now a recipe for fudge, with about a thousand pictures. The recipe is from a
South African magazine called 'Ideas'.
You will need:
650 g (750 ml) castor (superfine) sugar
1 can of condensed milk
115 g (125 ml) of butter
30 ml milk
15 ml water
15 ml syrup
a pinch of cream of tartar
some vanilla essence
Start by melting the butter, milk, syrup and water in a pot with a heavy base:
Once the butter has melted, remove the pot from the heat and add the castor sugar:
Bring to the boil and keep stirring for five minutes:
Remove from the heat, let cool for a minute, then add the condensed milk, stirring throughout:
Now put the pot on low heat and stir constantly for about 15 minutes, until the mixture turns light brown.
After the 15 minutes, let a bit of the sugar mix drop into a bowl with cold water. When it is ready it should form a ball in the water. Mine didn't, but I had enough of the stirring (halfway through the process I remembered that this is why I haven't made fudge in ages):
Nearly there :-):
Then take the mix from the heat, add the vanilla essence and the cream of tartar and pour it into a 20 x 20 cm cake pan lined with baking paper:
Leave to set for a while, then slize into squares and let it cool down all the way before taking it out. Store it in an airtight container:
Despite not forming a ball the fudge turned out great.
And now I must just pack those into the suitcase (another African present), and we will be ready for take-off tomorrow morning!
My next post will be from Germany.
Have a beautiful Sunday,
Lots of love,
Ps: I am linking to these lovely parties.

Yummmm! Who doesn't like fudge? We usually only have it at Christmas...although I don't know why! I'm glad you'll be posting from Germany. Godspeed.
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious, Jutta! My waistline can't afford for me to make fudge except at Christmas time. Besides, I would be stirring forever if I tried making it now because of all the humidity,

ReplyDeleteWell that's how I got here, from the Handmade Home, then Lovely Crafty Home and then I saw FUDGE. So I popped over to look at your ingredients, OOh Lions Golden Syrup...it's looking promising and then I read the first line and .....SOUTH AFRICA...yip now I know it's the right one. This is the fudge that runs thru my veins. I'll be visiting SA next week, but I think I just might make this tonight.
Thank you,
Caroline
PS: I love IDEAS, I think I heard it was "Your Family" revamped - either way, it's great.
How lovely that you got here! Welcome to Creative Chaos :-). Where do you live? Are you from SA? So many questions, hope you will check back at the comments.
