Kitchen Katie
Tells Valley
Christmas wouldn’t be a holi
day without a box of homemade
candy packed for someone who’s
away from home. Here are two
basic recipes for well-loved
sweets, compiled by Miss Mar
garet Martin, former Extension
agent here. Both recipes may
be varied in a number of ways
to add that different touch to
this year’s box from home.
Divinity
3 c. sugar
"A c. corn syrup, white
1 c. water
1-16 tsp. cream of tartar
(opt.)
3 egg whites
1 c. nutmeats
3A tsp. vanilla
Combine the sugar, syrup,
water and cream of tartar. Boil
rapidly until it forms a hard
ball or makes a sharp crack in
cold water (252 degrees F.) Near
the end of the cooking period
beat the egg whites stiff but not
dry. When the syrup reaches
the proper stage allow it to cool
3 minutes, then pour gradually
into the beaten egg and continue
beating until it becomes thick.
Add flavoring and nuts. Drop
from a spoon on waxed paper or
pour in a greased pan and cut
in squares.
Variations: Dates, cherries,
raisins or cocoanut may be add
ed with or without the nuts.
Vegetable coloring or melted
chocolate may be used if desired.
Light brown sugar may be used.
In any of these, cook syrup a
little longer.
Fudge—Basic Recipe
White Fudge
3 c. sugar
1 c. milk
V2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. corn syrup, white
3 tbsp. butter
Flavoring
Use wide, shallow kettle and
wooden spoon. Mix all ingre
dients except butter and dis
solve over slow heat. Boil rap
idly until a small amount drop
ped in cold water forms a rather
firm (not hard) ball. Remove
from fire and add butter, but do
not stir. Let stand until cool
and the syrup begins to thick
en (20 minutes). Then beat un
til mixture loses its glaze and
will keep its shape( is not runny).
Pour onto waxed paper placed
on a wooden board. For the
nicest looking fudge do not
touch with a spoon or knife or
try to smooth or spread—leave
it as it is poured. When cool
and set, cut into uniform size
squares, using a thin sharp knife,
and wipe the knife with a clean
Coffer Insure! Everything—
Remember? Adv.
wet cloth after every cut is
made.
Variations
Chocolate Fudge No. 1: Mix 6
tablespoons cocoa with sugar be
fore cooking.
Chocolate Fudge No. 2:When
the cooked syrup is removed
from the fire, add 3 squares of
chocolate with the butter but
don’t stir; the hot syrup will melt
the chocolate.
Peanut Butter Fudge: Add Vz
cup peanut butter (from which
the oil has been drained) to the
hot syrup with the butter.
Marshmallow Fudge: Add 15
chopped marshmallows to choco
late ludge just before it is pour
ed out. The mixture must be cool
or the marshmallows will melt,
this is not desired.
White Fruit Fudge: Substitute
water for milk, fold in chopped
candied cherries and pineapple,
nuts, raisins, or dates just before
the mixture is poured out.
Caramel Fudge: Use brown
sugar and double the amount of
butter, but omit the corn syiup.
Nuts or shredded (dry) cocoanut
may be added.
Fruits, nuts and flavoring may
be changed to make any number
of varieties of candy.
Note 1: Stir the mixture only
while cooking; this in no way
changes the quality of the candy.
However, after removing it from
the fire, it must not be disturbed
while hot. This is the cause of
most grainy fudge.
Note 2: Use fresh milk, eva
porated milk or condensed
milk. Dilute canned milk half
and half with water. For very
white candy substitute water for
milk, as milk gives a creamy
color.
Note 3: If the mixture curdles
while cooking, there is no harm
done (don't throw it out). Stir
well to keep from sticking and
burning. The lumps formed by
curdling will come out in the
beating.
Note 4: A candy thermometer
is not necessary, as temperature
readings vary from day to day
with atmospheric pressure. How
ever it is helpful when used
with the cold water test. Do not
make candy on a damp or sultry
day.
Note5: If candy is overcooked
and has a tendency to harden be
fore it is poured out, add a small
amount of milk until the mixture
is of the proper consistency to
pour. Or, turn the entire batch
out on a board or metal table
top and work and knead with
the hands until smooth. Pat it out
flat and cut into squares.
Note 6: If the mixture is
slightly undercooked, it usually
can be “beaten out” until it
becomes creamy and firm. Just
continue beating even after the
mixture is cold. The longer the
beating time, the better the tex
ture.
