WON THE BLUE RIBBON FUDGE This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Irwin Estate in Jacksonville, Texas in 1987. Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar |
1/2 cup powdered cocoa |
1/2 cup dark corn syrup |
1/2 cup evaporated milk |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. In heavy skillet combine sugar, syrup, milk, salt and cream of tartar.
2. Cook over low heat stirring constantly.
3. It takes a long time to cook but must be cooked slowly and over low heat.
4. As mixture begins to thicken drop a couple of drops into a cup of cold water.
5. If it is stringy it is not done.
6. Keep cooking and stirring and test periodically.
7. Once it balls up in cold water mixture is ready for the next step.
8. Remove from heat and set pan on heat resistant surface then add 2 tablespoons butter.
9. Stir butter into mixture then beat by hand until mixture has a thick smooth shiny appearance.
10. Place mixture into lightly greased cake pan and allow to cool completely.
