SXMS: Fudge

Here's what's going into one of the gifts I'm making from scratch this year. Everyone's going to get a little bag of it, and they'd better not eat it all at once! :)

Old-Fashioned Fudge

Melt together:
250g margarine
1 c milk
1 Tbs syrup or honey
1 kg sugar (5c)

Bring to the boil, stirring frequently, and boil for 15 minutes (watch it, it likes to burn and boil up - use a BIG pot!).

Add 1 x 397g can condensed milk. Boil again, stirring continuously (15 minutes).

Remove from heat, beat in 1 tsp vanilla essence until thick and creamy. Pour into a well-greased tray or dish.

Cut into squares when half-set, remove from tray when cool (or steal warm bits when cool enough to handle, while no-one's looking).
