Lightly grease a 20cm square tin.

Love this recipe my mum, my Nana, used this recipe.. First few attempts on my own not long outta home went tacky till I remembered the cold water trick - FOR THOSE WHOM DON'T OWN A SUGAR TERMOMETER! Have a cup of cold - not ice cold, but cold water when it gets to the end of the simmer est.. Grab a teaspoon and drop a few drops into water, it will sink of course but with ur fingers reach in and pick it up out of the water - if its sloppy/sticky and tacky - let it simmer a couple more mins. Dump tht water - clean and dry ur spoon. Wait nd try again after a couple more mins.. When u know it's ready, Repeat the drop process as above, But it's ready whn u can roll those few drops between ur thumb nd pointer finger in a soft ball (hence the term 'soft ball stage') Since mum reminded me of this step tht I probably forgot or got bored waiting on the simmer for 10mins as a child. But since I learned this trick. Perfect fudge everytime!!! Honest as thy come, no more wasted tacky runny fudge!!

Love this fudge but I can never make it my dad however gets it as smooth as ever and gets that harden fudge silkiness that is decadent p.s every time I watched him make it he never stops stirring!
I on the other hand have struggled everytime I've attempted it sugar work is just not my best work

I find if you stop stirring for any amount of time, it burns on the bottom of the pot straight away. Then when you beat it, the burnt bottom goes through the fudge. How do you avoid this?
