    Eating the pies from the bakers straight out of the oven was a thing we always looked forward to. The juices running down your chin was the best part. As for stovies. You no had much money but this dish filled your belly more than once and kept you warm in the winter months. The english might call some of our ways of making Stovies bubble and Squeak. Where the original was far superior to that.

      I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you. Working in keeping as near as possible with traditional recipes makes thermometers redundant I'm afraid. It is a hard confectionery unlike fudge which is softer. Scottish tablet does tend to be harder than fudge. Thanks for leaving me the feedback anyways. H

    I bake malt loaves now and again, stick one in the freezer to be consumed at a later date for myself and my family love it. I soak my fruit: raisins and dates, in strong tea and leave it to soak overnight. I also put some malt extract for a few bursts in the microwave, makes it easier to spread on the loaf, in my opinion. Not a bad recipe but I'd feel I'd be missing out if I were to use white sugar instead of muscovado sugar, but I suppose if you've nothing else at hand why not but I always make sure that I have all the ingredients at the ready.
