GF wants to give a load of people home made fudge for xmas, I have an old recipe from my Grandmother who used to make the most awesome stuff but I failed at making it this weekend :(

Has anybody got a decent fudge recipe that is nice and easy at all? Lots on the net and loads that involve all sorts of beating too, which is going to severly limit how much she can make lol... something that my Grandmothers recipe does not involve.

Her recipe was:

1/2 lb butter
1 & 1/2 lb sugar
1 large tin evaporated milk
1 large tin water (use the milk can)
1 & 1/2 teaspoons of golden syrup

Throw it all in a pan on a low heat until the sugar dissolves then boil on number 3 for forty minutes, pour into a container and let cool.

That was it, no further instructions, my attempt came out tasting the same, colour was the same but it was more like a mix of very soft toffee and some fudge thrown in and certainly could not be cut into chunks, I tried and it all just kind of melted back together :(

Sadly I cannot ask her as she passed away some years ago and my grandfather never made it himself.

Any tips of repipes would be great ta :)
 
Hmmm...

See, I remember making some years ago and it came out fine, don't ever remember having to beat it at all, but then I don't remeber having to boil it for so long either lol.

Darnit, it's too high in calorie content to experiment too often :p
