Tips:

  • For a creamier fudge, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Do not boil the sugar and milk mixture. This will cause the fudge to become grainy.
  • Stir the fudge constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent the fudge from scorching.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature before removing it from the heat.
  • Stir in the chopped walnuts and cherries just before pouring the fudge into the pan. This will help to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  • Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
