My own chewy creation
(The picture does not do this recipe justice )
Ingredients
- 397g can condensed milk
- 150ml milk
- 450g brown sugar / two cups
- 115g butter / half stick
- 1/4 cup chopped raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped glazed cherries
- 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter (alternatively use 1/2 cup chopped peanuts)
Directions
- Place milks, butter and sugar into a non-stick saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Bring to the boil then simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan.At this stage add peanut butter, raisins and cherries. To test if its ready, drop a little of the mixture into a cup of cold water. The mixture should hold tightly and feel hard when touched. Or check with a sugar thermometer if you have one (approx 118°C).
- Remove from the heat and beat the fudge until very thick and starting to set (about 10-15 minutes). I normally just keep it on low heat until it starts to thicken.
- Once thickened, pour into 20cm tin lined with parchment paper or butter and leave to cool before cutting into squares.
Enjoy.
