FUDGE makes 24 squares ingredients: 4 cups sugar cup water 1 can full cream condensed milk 125g butter
r 30mls corn syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon vinegar method: put the sugar, water, condensed milk, butter and syrup into a large pot (this is to prevent it boiling over) heat gently allowing the sugar to dissolve raise to 115 Celsius and keep it boiling for about 30 minutes until it caramelizes and thickens do not let the fudge get above 118 Celsius watch the bubbles change and when they are big in the middle you are at the fudge stage check this by dropping a small amount into water it should for a soft ball remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and vinegar beat the fudge with an electric beater on a low speed to avoid splash backs which can result in bad burns (use lavender essential oil on a burn straight away to prevent blisters) do this until the colour lightens and it has thickened and it has started crystallizing against the side of the pot pour into a lined rectangular dish and cool until firm enough to cut into squares (about 20 minutes) allow to stand for 1 hour before removing from the dish recipe from Lavender & Lime Blog
