Ingredients
- 250 g granulated sugar ( 1 ¼ cup)
- 150 ml double cream (heavy cream, 5 oz)
- 1 tablespoon glucose syrup
- 1 teaspoon orange essence
- 15 g butter
- 50 cup dried cranberries and pistachios (¼ cup)
- 50 g white chocolate (½ cup)
Instructions
- In a pan, add the double cream, sugar, glucose syrup and butter, and set over a low heat.
- Bring to a boil, then stir occasionally until it starts to thicken to the soft ball stage, this might take anything between 10 or 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add the white chocolate, and stir well, the mixture will thicken further at this stage.
- Add the cranberries and pistachios, then quickly spread the mixture over a tray that had been lined with non-stick paper.
- Leave to cool completely, then cut into squares.
Notes
- spread the fudge as soon as it's off the heat, otherwise it will start setting really quickly, and you won't have an even layer of fudge
- allow the fudge to set completely before slicing
- handle the fudge with care, it's really hot!
