LEMON FUDGE



Lemon Fudge image

A lovely sweet & tart recipe for lemon fudge I found online, posted by Elizabeth LaBau. For me, boiling the sugar & milk mixture for 6 minutes did not result in as firm a fudge as I'd like, but still, it was great, delicious fudge that also had the perfect consistency - as long as I kept it in the fridge. ;-) I'll try a candy thermometer the next time to see if boiling the mixture to soft ball stage doesn't do the trick.
