Fudge!

[OrmIrian]

I made vanilla walnut fudge last night. It's firm but very sticky and it has a slight tang to the taste. It was definitely the right temperature (unless my jam-making thermometer is wrong) and I gave it a beating after I took it off the heat.

Any ideas what might have gone wrong?

Also is it possible to make it in a microwave - it took hours to get it up to termperature on the hob.

Oh come on! No fudge queens on MN??

oh my daughter makes fudge in the microwave

when she gets back will ask her for the recipe - I know it uses gallons of condensed milk, mmmm

Thankyou mitchy.

have you tried googling or searching on here for 'microwave fudge'- might throw somethign up?

I just did that motamum - it took me to netmums

I return - ok, she says:

125g butter, 2 cups caster sugar, 1 can condensed milk (397g)

place in large (and it does need to be very large because it all gets very excited in there) cook on high for 5 minutes stirring every now and then

a further 10 - 12 minutes (again stirring now and then)

it's ready when it curls inwards from bowl and is light brown in colour!

hope this helps

place in large bowl I meant!

Thankyou mitchy. I will give it a go this evening!

BTW I guessed 'bowl'
