Old
English Fudge
If
you haven’t tasted traditional Old
English Fudge, you are in for a treat.
The
recipe originated in England’s West Country
– Devon and neighboring Cornwall, where many
Brits go on holiday and is home of the “English
Riviera”.
The
dramatic coastline and charming villages are as
captivating as is the tranquility of the moors that
dominate the area.
Devon
produces incredibly rich butter and cream, and is
famous for it’s clotted cream that stars in
that wonderful afternoon indulgence – Cream
Tea.
It’s
worth the trip to England just to taste that marvelous
clotted cream on a warm scone.
If
you can't make it to England then why not try our

1)
Put all the ingredients into a strong
thick based saucepan and heat gently
stirring continuously until all the
sugar is dissolved.
2)
Then bring to the boil and boil gently
stirring occasionally until the mixture
reaches "soft ball" consistency.
The most foolproof way to test this
is to use a sugar thermometer and boil
until Temperature reaches 235 - 238
F.
3)
Remove from heat and beat fudge mixture
thoroughly until it begins to thicken.
Pour into a greased, lined tin and leave
to set.
4)
Cut into squares when cold.
DELICIOUS!
Tip*
To make chocolate fudge simply add about
6 oz good quality dark chocolate broken
into pieces once the sugar has all dissolved.
Stir until the chocolate has all melted
then carry on as before.
