List of Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup chopped candied red cherriesRecipe
1. Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan or 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with foil.
Butter foil
and set aside.
2. Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Add sugar, milk, and corn
syrup to the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until the
syrup mixture in the saucepan comes to a boil.
3. Carefully clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Cook and
stir the mixture over medium-low heat for about 12 minutes or until
mixture reaches 234 degrees F (soft-ball stage).
4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Add the butter and almond extract.
Beat until fudge begins to thicken. Quickly stir in the walnuts and
cherries. Continue beating for about 8 minutes more or until fudge no
longer is glossy.
5. Turn the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Score the fudge into
squares while warm. Cool and cut. Top with additional cherries, if you
like. Makes about 1/3 pound.
