Fudge
Submitted By Tom Nesbitt
2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/8 cup chopped candied
cherries
Butter a shallow dish and set
aside. Combine sugar, salt and milk in a large saucepan. Add chocolate
and cook over low heat until chocolate is melted. Stirring occasionally,
increase heat and bring to full rolling boil. Continue cooking until it
reaches soft ball, 234°F on your candy thermometer. Remove from heat
and add butter. Let cool to about 130 °F. Add vanilla and beat until
fudge begins to thicken. Rapidly fold in walnuts and cherries (if desired),
and instantly turn the mixture into buttered dish. It’s ready to eat almost
immediately. Cut into squares and serve. Serves at least 4. |
