LEMON FUDGE
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can also be used, but it may not be as flavorful.
- Do not overcook the fudge. Overcooked fudge will be grainy and difficult to chew. To prevent overcooking, stir the fudge constantly and remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches the desired temperature.
- Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. Fudge can be stored for up to two weeks.
