I made my first fudge this week. Well, with a bit of help from SWMBO (She Who's Meals Bring Ovations) who got me out of a sticky situation (literally!!!!!!)
Has anyone here tried it? It is made from very simple ingredients but the method is a bit tricky until you know what you're doing. My recipe did not make it clear what the 'soft ball' stage is. It also didn't say that there is an optimum temperature that needs to be reached while the fudge mixture boils away. With a better recipe we may have nailed it first time, but the result we got was a cross between fudge and toffee. Very nice indeed but not quite right. Still, I shall be giving away some anyway. Steady gannets, I meant to a couple of neighbours OK?
Anyway, all in all I'd recommend giving it a go. It would probably take about an hour or so from start to finish. And the result will almost certainly be very yummy! :hungrig
