south african fudge instructions
- prepare a tin to set fudge in. line with non stick foil. I used a small/medium sized rectangular ceramic dish. It depends on how thick you v want b the fudge to be. use ca smaller dish for thicker pieced.
- place the water and sugar in a pot and put on to Medium low heat until the sugar completely dissolves..
- add the syrup and butter to the pot, stirring all the time, until the butter melts..
- add the tin of condensed milk. turn heat up to medium high and bring to the boil, stirring all the time.
- Once it starts to boil reduce the temperature to med low, ensure that the mix is constantly simmering. simmer until at soft ball stage ( approx 25 minutes on medium heat) stir constantly to avoid burning..
- Once soft ball stage is reached, remove from heat and add vanilla essence. stir the mix vigorously for approx. 3-5 minutes, or until the mix starts to thicken. You will see that it starts to set to the sides of the pot. Once beaten and thickened ( do not beat for too long or it will set in the pot) pour into prepared pan and allow to set. ( 30 minutes).
- note: it is easier to use a food thermometer to measure for soft ball stage. But you will see after aprox 25 minutes of constant simmering at medium low/ medium heat, the colour and consistency will have changed considerably. This is when you know it is nearing soft ball stage..
- cut into squares and enjoy! :).
