Martin B Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi, I need a recipe for vanilla fudge. Could anybody help me out? Martin x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I tried to make fudge years ago in my sweet making years, it was an unmitigated disaster too much thermometer usage for my liking, so if anyone has a foolproof recipe, I am right behind Martin! I understand you can buy a powder from QVC (calico cottage?) and have considered going down this route as I am a complete Fudge Monster. Otherwise Martin, get your coat and get down to Thorntons, theirs is delicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 We tried making chocolate fudge once. It was a disaster and ended up on the compost heap. Thorntons stuff is delicious though!!! Why do you need a recipe for it anyway, can't you cook something weasier to make, like gingerbread and then ice it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 The calico range on QVC is supposed to be very good. If youre not happy with it they will refund you even if youve ate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 http://Better than what I did with Turkish delight though My mind is boggling I got my boiling points mixed up and used a lovely plastic/nylon spoon to stir the boiling sugar mixture. The spoon was made to withstand boiling temperatures up to 100 degrees, only I forgot sugar boils much much hotter! I only realised the spoon had melted when there was just a couple of inches of handle left, the bowl part had all melted Had to rush outside with a foil tray and s"Ooops, word censored!"e the saucepan empty of the boiling sugary nylon mess! Such a waste of ingredients, and Turkish Delight is easy to make and tasty too. I might have made everlasting sweets, come to think of it!

Trish Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Sounds an interesting mixture, did the spoon change the colour of the mixture at all? I have an image of stripey Turkish Delight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Sounds an interesting mixture, did the spoon change the colour of the mixture at all? I have an image of stripey Turkish Delight Oh yes! The spoon was orange and so the Turkish Delight had lovely orange swirls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
