Very easy. It just takes time.
I've now used this recipe twice and each time it has been fantastic. It's important to remember you can't rush it, so I slowly dissolved the sugar, then stirred and boiled (swapping between boiling and simmering plates on my Aga) for exactly 15 minutes. If you don't, it catches on the bottom and dark lumps form. Not nice. I used the soft ball method to check for readiness, remembering to put a mug of water in the fridge before I started. And it's okay to pour it into the tin before it sets too much. If it does, pat it down with a fork dipped in water. I sprinkled mine with flakes of Maldon salt at the end and the combination was delicious.

Perfect old-fashioned fudge
If I could have only one fudge recipe, then this is it. I'm sure I've never tasted better! It's simple, and reliable; but for success it requires a heavy, thick-bottomed pan, plus a stove that outputs sufficient heat.
I grew up watching my mum make this fudge; she would make it every Christmas as a treat and cherished stocking filler, and it never failed to delight.
It has a wonderful granularity, whilst still being slightly chewy.
Cooled and stored in an airtight container, it keeps without any evidence of spoiling for as long as you can keep it hidden! It will also freeze with no ill effects.

Perfect Fudge every time
This is a fantastic recipe, I have made it dozens of times and it has worked out beautifully. I have a few words of advice.... invest in a sugar thermometer, you won't regret it, that to me is what makes this recipe reliable so has been well worth a small investment of a few pounds. I think the reviews who say the fudge is too soft/hasn't thickened possibly didn't let their fudge get to the right temperature, that bit takes ages from my experience and watching the sugar thermometer so be patient! Also for step 3 I use an electric hand whisk. Well worth the effort and it makes lovely Christmas gifts.

My dad made ths every christmas, today, I did too!
My father passes away when I was young, and I have some really good memories of him. One was always making "carnation maple fudge" (okay so it wasn't really maple, it was brown sugar, carnation, butter and milk) when I was a child. I never had the recipe and then found this on line. Making it was wonderful, easy and uncomplicated. and the taste.. Felt like I was sitting on my fathers lap again.
Thank you for posting this!

Salted fudge with Vaniila
I love thus fudge recipe. I mix it up a bit and add some salt. And three tsp of vanilla pod paste. I also change the type of suger I use I add darker suger for a deeper flavour. Oh also when you mix it at the end I cheat and use my electric mixer. Happy fudge making xxxx
