This recipe came from my aunt who made this and another fudge for years at Christmas and it is my husband's favorite. It has candied cherries in it and looks so pretty. It has a butterscotch flavor and is very, very tasty. It is so pretty on a candy tray at Christmas. It makes 5 pounds of fudge. Please read the NOTE in the directions about stirring constantly. Ingredients:
5 cups sugar |
1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk |
1/2 cup butter |
1 (13 ounce) jar marshmallow cream |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
2 (12 ounce) bags butterscotch chips |
1 cup candied cherry (cut up) |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large 4-quart saucepan.
2. Stir over medium heat till blended.
3. Bring to a boil stirring CONSTANTLY (if you don't do this over a medium heat and stir constantly, the stuff will burn on and you don't want that in a light fudge); don't mistake the escaping air bubbles for boiling.
4. Continue boiling for 5 1/2 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients until the butterscotch bits are melted.
6. Put into a buttered 9x13 pan or a little larger if you want.
7. Makes 5 lbs. fudge.
