Steps:
- PREPARE:
- Prewarm the thermometer in hot water; use a 2-quart saucepan; butter the upper sides (inside) of the saucepan; measure all ingredients except the vanilla and optionals, and dump into the saucepan.
- Grease and if necessary, line a 5 X 10-inch pan.
- Fill glass with ice cubes and water and the sink with 1/2 inch of cold water.
- Dissolve the sugar, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, over low heat until the butter melts, the gritty sounds cease, and the spoon glides smoothly over the bottom of the pan.
- Increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil.
- Boil, after washing down any crystals that may have formed, with a pastry brush dipped in hot water from the thermometer bath, using as little water as possible.
- Introduce the prewarmed thermometer.
- Reduce the heat while keeping the fudge at a boil.
- Stir no more than necessary.
- Test the fudge mixture in the ice-cold water when the mixture thickens and bubbles become noisy.
- Ball, formed in ice water, should hold its shape until the heat from your had begins to flatten it and should be al dente ~- slightly chewy -- between 230 and 240 (110 and 115.5 degrees C.).
- Because of the molasses and brown sugar, it can ball at a lower temperature than some other fudges.
- Shock by placing the saucepan in the cold water in the sink.
- Seed by adding, without stirring, the vanilla.
- Then allow to cool.
- Stir when luke warm and "skin" forms on the top (110 degrees F./43.5 degrees C.).
- Return the thermometer to its hot water bath to soak clean.
- Stir the fudge thoroughly but not vigorously by hand, with an electric mixer, or with a food processor.
- Pause frequently to allow the fudge to react.
- Watch for the fudge to thicken, lose its sheen, and become lighter in color or streaked with lighter shade, give off some heat, suddenly stiffen.
- If mixing by had, the fudge will "snap" with each stroke; by mixer, mixer waves will become very distinct, by food processor, fudge will flow sluggishly back to the center when the processor is stopped.
- Add the optionals (1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts (walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts (filberts)) before the fudge totally candies.
- Pour, score, and store when cool in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
- Recipe is easily doubled and can be frozen.
- VARIATIONS:
- HONEY BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eleminate the unsweetened chocolate and replace the molasses with 1/4 cup of honey.
- The honey causes the fudge to ball at a higher temperature.
- CHOCOLATE HONEY BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, replace the heavy cream with light cream or evaporated milk and replace the molasses with 1/4 cup of honey.
- ORANGE BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eleminate molasses, chocolate but add 1 Tbl corn syrup.
- In Step 6, add 1 Tbl grated orange zest, plus if you can get it, 1 tsp of pure orange extract.
- PEANUT BUTTER BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eliminate the molasses and chocolate, replace the heavy cream with 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter.
- To intensify the peanut butter flavor, add 1/3 of a cup of salted peanuts in Step 9.
- PRALINE BROWN SUGAR FUDGE: In Step 1, eliminating the molasses is optional -- you'ss get a more Southern praline with it, a milder one without it--or compromise and use only 1 Tbls.
- Eliminate the chocolate.
- In Step 3, when the mixture begins to thicken, add 1 1/2 cups of pecan halves slowly so as not to break the boil or cool the mixture too quickly.
