VANILLA FUDGE RECIPE WITH EVAPORATED MILK RECIPES

Steps:

• Line an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil; set aside.
• Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, evaporated milk, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to boiling. Carefully clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook over medium-low heat to 238 degrees F., soft-ball stage, stirring frequently. This should take 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Cool without stirring to 110 degrees F (about 45 minutes). Remove candy thermometer from saucepan. Carefully stir butter into cooked mixture to incorporate. Beat mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until fudge becomes very thick (about 8 minutes total). Immediately spread fudge into prepared pan. Score into squares while warm. If desired, top each square with a nut piece. When candy is firm, use the foil to lift it out of pan. Cut into squares. Makes about 1 pound (32 servings).

Steps:

• In a reasonably large pan with a thick bottom, pour the evaporated milk, sugar and butter. (Tip: cut your butter into small cubes so it melts quicker.)
• Heat the mixture on medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
• When it bubbles and is boiling, cook at exactly that heat for around 20 minutes. Make sure to keep stirring.
• When the mixture is quite thick and a glossy, golden brown colour, turn off the heat. If the mixture starts to look brown in some places, take it off the heat immediately and stir vigorously till the brown bits are gone.
• Cool for 5 minutes.
• Then beat it with an electric mixer until it loses some of its gloss and becomes thicker. This should take 5-10 minutes.
• Then, add your vanilla essence. Whisk again so it is no longer visible and pour into a tin lined with tin foil or grease proof paper.
• Leave to cool for 2-3 hours, and then slice into cubes and enjoy!
