How to Make Smooth Golden Fudge
- In a heavy-based saucepan, combine 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup water, 1 cup golden syrup (or corn syrup/honey), 1/4 cup glucose syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup margarine, and 2 cups granulated sugar.
- Stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the margarine melts.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Continue stirring constantly and vigorously to prevent scorching.
- Boil rapidly, monitoring with a sugar thermometer, until the mixture reaches 115°C (239°F) – the soft-ball stage.
- Remove from heat immediately. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; do not stir.
- Let the mixture cool undisturbed to 45°C (113°F). This may take 30-45 minutes. Patience is key!
- Beat the mixture vigorously with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until it thickens significantly and loses its glossy sheen. This will take several minutes.
- Scrape the fudge into a prepared 8x8 inch baking tin lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm.
- (Optional) Melt your favorite chocolate and drizzle over the set fudge. Sprinkle with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
