Fudge

Ingredients :
400g sugar

45ml water
55ml butter

30ml golden syrup
397g (1 can)condensed milk

5ml vanilla essense

Method :

Mix the sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan and stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.

Ensure that there are no sugar crystals against the side of the saucepan and if there are any crystals visible, then brush them off with a pastry brush that has been dipped in warm water.

Add the butter and golden syrup to the sugar/water solution and stir until the butter has melted.

Add the condensed milk and stir continuously until it starts to bubble.

Let the mixture simmer for approximately a further 25 minutes and stir regularly to prevent burning.

Allow to cool down to the lukewarm stage then add the vanilla essence and beat until thick and creamy.

Pour the mixture into a greased pan.

Let the mixture flow freely from the saucepan and avoid shaking or attempting to scrape the mixture from the saucepan, else crystallisation of the sugar may occur.

Allow to cool down completely before cutting into squares.
