Pecan Nut Fudge

Fudge always reminds me of a very special friend I had at junior school, every time we had a cake sale she would arrive with these beautiful big squares of pure sugar delight. I was once lucky enough to catch her mom making fudge when I went to play one day and I was amazed at how sugar and butter transformed into heaven. I now have a very special family member who LOVES fudge so I decided to make this for him 🙂

I made my fudge in my Thermomix, you can also make it on the stove.

Pecan Nut Fudge

Serves: 8

Ingredients

500g Icing Sugar

1 x 395g tin condensed milk

150g butter, cubed

55g golden syrup

2 tsp Vanilla Paste

A large handful of pecan nuts roughly chopped

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to the bowl except vanilla and nuts and cook 30 min/90ºC/speed 2/MC off.

2. Cook 40 min/Varoma/speed 2 using basket on top of lid to prevent spatter.

3. Cook 4 min/Varoma/speed 4 using basket on top of lid to prevent spatter.

4. Add vanilla through hole in lid and beat 1 min/speed 4/MC in.

5. Pour into large buttered tin, sprinkle the chopped pecan nuts over the top and press down on the nuts so that they are slightly submerged and allow to cool for hours and hours and hours.

6. Don’t be tempted to refrigerate to speed it up, just let it cool on the bench! The core temperature of the fudge will definitely take hours so don’t say I didn’t warn you!

7. Turn the slab of fudge out onto a board and cut into squares.

  • The first time I had oysters they were super fresh straight out the sea in the Transkei. I was 16 and I was so scared with what they tasted like the oyster just slipped down my throat - I never even tasted it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The second time I had oysters was in Langebaan at @bella_niehaus Langtafel (those were pure magic - I still dream about that meal that day!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever since then I have been hooked (hahaha fishy joke) and I love them. When I was asked to photograph some oyster specials at @maresolcapetown it was torture staring at these fresh oysters BUT they kindly let me enjoy them at the end of the shoot.YAY!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are in Cape Town you must go past @maresolcapetown and sit at the water's edge at the V&A Waterfront. It is the perfect place for any meal.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
