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:
- To ensure a smooth fudge, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the mixture constantly.
- Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the fudge. This will help prevent it from becoming too hard or too soft.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the fudge by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- To make the fudge extra creamy, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream or evaporated milk.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
- If you want a fudge with a chewy texture, let it cool for a few minutes before stirring in the nuts or other mix-ins.
- For a smooth, glossy fudge, pour it into a greased 8x8 inch pan and let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to two weeks.
Conclusion:
With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, lemon fudge is a delicious and refreshing treat. It's perfect for any occasion, from birthday parties to holiday gatherings.
