  3. When everything has melted, bring the mixture up to the boil then turn down the heat to maintain a fast simmer. Stir the mixture every few minutes.

  4. When the mixture reaches 115°c - 118°c take the saucepan off the heat and leave to stand for 5 minutes. If you don't have a thermometer, use the cold water test as described above to test the fudge.

  5. Add the vanilla extract at this point if using. Now, using a large wooden spoon, beat the mixture until it cools and thickens. This can take a little while but you will see it change.
