INGREDIENTS
- 3 1/2 cups white sugar

- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp golden syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla essence

- Bring to a gentle boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring to prevent the mixture from burning, until it reaches the soft ball stage.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Cool for 5 minutes, before beating with an electric mixer for around 10 minutes until the fudge is creamy and thick.
- Pour into prepared tin and leave to cool, then refrigerate until set. Cut when cold.
- Divide into gifting portions and arrange in jars for gifting, then decorate with ribbon and a note.
