I’ll definitely be returning to the quest to find my favourite tablet recipe soon. Two of them were so hard and crumbly that they were more like ‘tablet’ – a sandier-textured Scottish relation to fudge.

Some turned out too soft, others too crumbly. I was determined to make great sea salt fudge. Also it keeps well in the fridge.Īs you can see from the photos above and below, I tried a lot of different recipes. To make it go even further, I cut mine into thin strips and let them melt on my tongue.

It is so full of flavour that a couple of pieces with your coffee are really all you want (honestly). That said, it’s so good when it’s done right. Fudge is usually a holiday treat for a very good reason: there are few nutritional redeeming features.

The other thing I discovered on my fudge quest is that you need a truly horrifying quantity of sugar. I’ve found out since that it’s not even that difficult to make good fudge!! I’m even more cross about it, thinking back now, than I was then. We were excited to dive in, only to find it to be a very sad approximation to real fudge.īars of sea salt fudge, clotted cream fudge and rum & raisin fudge, all as tasteless as each other … My sister and I bought some fudge from one of the few shops that was open. I was on holiday on the south coast of England earlier in the summer. Other times, a food disappointment can set me off trying to right the food wrong.

Sometimes I bake to recreate something wonderful (especially when I can’t get it again).
