Almond Fudge Recipe

Ingredients:

3 oz. of whipped cream
1 and 1/2 c of sugar (granulated)
1/4 c of syrup (corn)
2 tbsps of butter and additional butter (to grease kettle)
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 c of Marshmallow Creme (an additional 1 tbsp)
1 oz of almonds (blanched); chopped coarsely
1 and 1/2 tsps of extract of almond (pure)
1-2 oz of red,green cherries (candied) or both; quartered & pressed (syrup should be totally removed)

Instructions:

Grease kettle’s side. Let whipped cream boil, then mix in sugar & mix well to liquefy. Combine syrup, plus 2 tbsp. butter & salt.

Using a thermometer attached in kettle’s side, let the whole mixture boil in medium level heat & cook (220 degrees F) mixture stirring it constantly to avoid it to become sticky.

Using a brush (pastry) plunged in cool water, sweep around & above the cook line twice. Continue stirring the mix (at 238 degrees F).

Once done, take it out of the burner and let it cool for 5 mins. Using a spoon or spatula, combine what remains of the ingredients and keep on whisking for 5-10 mins.

When fudge becomes glossy and thickens, quickly spoon it into a pan (loaf) with 1 and 1/4 in. thickness.

When fudge sets, take it out of the pan & let it cool. Refrigerate for one whole night and then slice to desired pieces.
