BROWN SUGAR FUDGE RECIPE

Steps:

• Butter a 8" x 8" glass baking dish and set aside.*
• Put 2/3 cup butter, heavy cream, and brown sugar into a medium pot set over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the butter has melted. As soon as the edges start to bubble and boil, set a timer for 5 minutes. Whisk occasionally, and turn to medium-low when it comes to a rolling boil.
• Immediately remove the pot from the heat when the five minutes are up, and add the icing sugar. Whip with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
• Pour into the prepared dish and chill for 1 hour before cutting and serving.

BROWN SUGAR FUDGE, THE OLD FASHIONED WAY

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8x8 inch pan and line it with parchment paper. (The size is important, see note)
• In a medium sized saucepan, melt the butter slowly over medium low heat.
• Add the white sugar, brown sugar and evaporated milk. Increase heat to medium.
• Bring to a gentle gentle, constant boil.
• Cook until the mixture reaches between 236 and 238 degrees F. Stir only very occasionally, perhaps just a couple of times. Over-stirring can cause crystallization of the sugar and your fudge will seize.
• As soon as the mixture hits the correct temperature, remove the pan from the heat.
• Quickly but gently stir in the vanilla extract.
• Allow this mixture to remain at room temperature until lukewarm. Do NOT try to speed this process up by placing in the fridge or freezer.
• When cooled to lukewarm, beat the fudge mixture with a wooden spoon until it loses its glossy appearance and begins to thicken more.
• Stir in the nuts at this point if you are adding them.
• Pour evenly into the prepared pan.
• Leave for several hours to set until firm.
• Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and transfer it to a cutting board.
• Cut into 64 one inch squares, or larger if you prefer.
• Store in an airtight container. I do like to refrigerate mine once it is cooled completely and cut.
• If freezing fudge, cut the batch into 4 equal squares, and wrap each one tightly with plastic wrap before placing in an airtight container to freeze. This will allow you to take out one or two of the larger pieces and then cut them into portions as needed.

OLD-FASHIONED BROWN SUGAR FUDGE (PENUCHE)

Steps:

• Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, cream and salt to a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Stir until butter and sugar are melted and combined. Stop stirring
• Bring the sugar to a boil and stop stirring. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cook until the sugar reaches 236°F. Test using the soft ball method by adding some of the candy mixture to a cup of cold water. If a soft candy ball forms then the fudge is cooked.
• Remove from heat and let cool to 110F. Once cooled add the vanilla and quickly beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge becomes smooth, lighter in colour and loses it shininess to a matte texture.
• Pour the fudge quickly into an 8" X 8" glass dish lined with parchment paper. Push the fudge into the corners of the pan with the wooden spoon or spatula and smooth off the top. Let cool completely for about 1 hour and then cut into squares.
• Store in a sealed container on the counter for up to 3 weeks.

GRANDMA'S BROWN SUGAR FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar & milk in saucepan, and stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
• Cook over medium-high heat until mixture reaches the "soft ball" stage (about 235 degrees).

• Mix until smooth & creamy. Fudge will lose its shine and feel somewhat gritty on the bottom of the pot.
• Pour into buttered 9 x 13 glass pan.
• Let partially set and cut into squares.
