Fudge

Sweets  

Ingredients

400 gm Condensed milk
900 gm Granulated white sugar
100 gm Butter
1 Tbsp Golden syrup
200 ml Milk
1 tsp Vanilla essence

Method

Dissolve the sugar in the milk until there are no crystals. Add the butter and golden syrup and bring to the boil stirring constantly to avoid burning. Pour in the condensed milk stiirring well to avoid the mixture catching and burning. On returning to the boil, cook the fudge for about 25 minutes stirring all the time until fairly brown. The mixture should be fudge-like on the edge of the pan at this point. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla essence and beat (with an electric mixer if preferred) until the mixture thickens into fudge. Pour into a well-greased baking tray and leave to cool. Cut into pieces before it hardens completely.

Notes

Get everything ready in advance because once you start to cook the fudge it needs to be stirred constantly otherwise it will catch and burn.

The condensed milk is equivalent to a normal large tin. Open it ready before you start.
