Did you put vanilla in the butter fudge ? My mom used to make it similar to the butter fudge but she put vanilla in it and since it wasn't chocolate we called it vanilla fudge. 😂 It looked exactly like the fudge you made.
I went through all the recipes and the peanut butter fudge is not the same as either of the TWO recipes in the link! I went to the search bar and it didn't come up there either. I wanted to know the sizes of the peanut butter jar and the vanilla icing. I couldn't see the ounces on the labels. I know I made the recipe a couple years ago, from another of your videos
My sister and I made this( 5 lbs. at a time) by hand to sell for our Christmas money. We called it Christmas Fudge. This was in the 1960s
Butter fudge is old school; that is what my Grandma made (only difference is she used 2 cups evaporated + 2 tbls. half and half.) It is THE best fudge ever!!!! It is even better if you can find a high fat butter like Vital Farms or Kerry Gold. Everyone should try this recipe, it is the bomb!!!!
Kerry gold = pure Irish butter
Thank you
I usually make this recipe as it was what my mom and grandmother made as well. Makes the best fudge. We would add coco and vanilla
Be willing to bet using kerigold Irish butter much more rich and yummy
Golden Syrup comes from sugar cane so is a deep rich amber colour so our fudge is usually much darker than this. We don’t really use corn syrup in cooking here, but Golden Syrup is more of a store cupboard essential. It’s a delicacy in Devon and Cornwall and often contains clotted cream for additional richness.
Exactly, Golden syrup and corn syrup are not at all the same 😂😂😂
Golden syrup is not from corn at all! It is made with inverted sugar which comes from sugar cane and lemon if you need to make at home
What exactly is clotted cream? I've heard of it and seen it on a menu and have gotten everything from sour cream to whipped cream.
@@liz6733 my grandmother used to make her own, from what I remember she used to heat the cream (she had this thing in her kitchen which looked like a small stove with a hole in the top to set a metal bowl into. It was sort of built into the wall) very gently and slowly. It would eventually form a light crust on the top and the cream underneath was wonderful.
I seem to remember (this was over 60 years ago!) it was quite a long job but that may just be a child's perception of time. It not only made wonderful cream but it used to keep longer as well. My gran always used to put a dollop of cream in her Cornish pasties 😊.
Wow
It's interesting how everyone does things differently. I noticed you opened the evaporated milk with a can opener and my mom and grandma and now myself have always used bottle/can opener that pokes a hole in it and then of course you have to do that on both sides of the can for the flow. I have to say again how much I AM LOVING these quick and easy recipe videos! I am excited to try this butter fudge! My friends call me the Queen of Fudge. LOL I've made all kinds and flavors, but I have never heard of Butter Fudge!
I was thinking the same thing. We have always used a bottle opener as well. I thought everyone did lol 😂
@loribrown8861 I know isn't that funny? I always thought everyone did too!
@passionateherbs8183 maybe she didn't have one?
I save my butter wrappers in a freezer bag and use them to grease my pans. It's like free pan release
Put a little water in the pan under the parchment paper to stick it down.
I just made a 3 ingredient pb fudge that was literally 3 min and minimal mixing. To say it was the easiest and tastiest, it's an understatement. I'll try yours, though, tawra because 2 ingredients. 😊
I’ll bet your house smells so good after making that butter fudge! 😋🤤😋
Never heard of Irish fudge but now I have to make it!😅❤
Noticed your homemade vanilla, I'm trying some for the first time.
Won't be ready until next year, but I won't have to buy anymore!❤
May the Lord bless you for your generosity. You are a very generous family.
Love the beautiful view from the window over your sink.
Can’t wait to try this. And thanks for the free download of your cookbook. How very sweet of you. 🥰
Making the Irish Butter Fudge now, it's in the mixer😋
OMG. If I didn't know better, I would think you got that 9x13 right out of my cupboard! I'm 67 yrs old and I got mine from my mom as well! It looks exactly like mine, down to the scratches in the bottom from cutting cake. Thank you for all the recipes you post. I am going to be making several of them for Christmas presents. I will let you know how it goes. Love and light.😊❤
Definitely going to try the butter fudge. I absolutely love the hard butter rum candies. And apple cider fudge sounds sooo good. Thanks for sharing!
I just stumbled upon your channel/ I have never been so excited 🎉 I will be binging all your stuff moving forward. The candles look amazing, and so simplistic. You and your husband are so cute!! I of course subscribed ❤
I love your recipes... the traditional fudge looks AMAZING... I wonder if you could make a maple pecan/walnut fudge using that basic recipe, but with Maple syrup instead of the corn syrup (or maybe 50/50), and add pecans to it...
Happy Anniversary, many many more
Thank you so much for the free e-book!! The butter fudge recipe will still turn out ok if cut in half won’t it? I have so many recipes on my list!
Liked and saved! I love watching your videos! I can't watch most cooking channels.. Thank you! 🤗
What you need is a offset metal spatula to spread out your candy/ fudge. Also they are great for frosting your cake with frosting.
When I eat foods that I shouldn’t but really wanted to even if I knew that it was going to hurt a lot… I saw…. Ouch but it was so worth it. lol
I’m enjoying your videos very much. A quick tip… cover the top of the fudge with parchment paper, then use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to smooth the top out for a finer finish.
I got one of the good men. After an ex hubby who was a nightmare. I have been with my hubby now for 37 years. I do believe I am good to him also. We will not abuse each other. 😀. Talk about abuse...That Irish Butter Fudge is an abuse I would love! 😆😯😁 Thanks for the yummy video! ❤️💖💝
The main difference between corn syrup and golden syrup is in the manufacturing," explains Zeratsky; corn syrup is made from corn starch, while golden syrup is made from sugar. In the U.S., golden syrup is usually sold under the name of light treacle, but it's not readily available in many grocery stores.
It can be substituted for golden, visa versus.
For the Bluebird Homestead Butter Fudge recipe, looks like yours came out just fine, but if I'm not mistaken, she said after she took it off the stove and poured it into the stand mixer bowl to let it sit 15 mins and not to touch it until that time had passed, then beat it for an unspecified amount of time and go by the way it looks, as you said, until it starts pulling away from the sides of the bowl, etc. Apparently the recipe is pretty forgiving, lol. My kind of recipe! Thanks for sharing all the cool fudge recipes and Merry Christmas. Making mine now.
Love this video!! Your husband said soft ball stage😀
I have no interest in making candy, but I’ve really enjoyed your Christmas candy videos. (Watching this one out of order, on Dec. 17.) I’m not a big fudge person, however, I have to try this butter fudge recipe!
Looks so good, I can't wait to taste it.....❤
This looks so worth it! If you have a stand mixer I can imagine what it taste like! Like a milky carmels
@diningonadime
Just as you were about to pour the apple cider fudge, i was saying, "Your vanilla, " LOL
For the caramel apple idea, maybe the caramel bits in the same section as the white chips could work?
We can never out give the Lord. Praise the Lord!
I'm loving all these recipes with candy n the fridge ones wow this is great ...Really appreciate these videos especially for Christmas this will help me out to pick several this yr ty for sharing this...🎄❤️
I love fudge idc which flavor its all so good! Im going to try this recipe 😊
Happy anniversary! ❤
I came across your channel and I have to tell you I’m in love with your channel. My great grandmother used to make this butter fudge when I was growing up and before my mom passed away we tried so hard to get that and her popcorn balls!! Do you think you can make some popcorn balls, please? My grandsons would love those!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All of your candy making looks delicious Tawra hi Mike
We don't use the syrup either it's a bag of granulated sugar 2.2lbs and we use a tbl spoon of vanilla essence it's a crumbly fudge but very tasty I tried a recipe with clotted cream and it turned sour very soon after making it also don't tell people to use a hand held mixer to thicken I burnt mine out so always use a stand mixer also don't place your silicone into the dishwasher as it absorbs detergent and you will taste it in your food wooden spoons are best 😊😊😊
You two are so great! I really enjoy watching your videos. The smell a vision thing had me crackin up 😂
where did yo\ get that awesome thermometer from , I need one of those lol.
🎄thank you for the great recipes
I do the same thing with my Butter wrappers, they are like parchment paper.
The syrup that you using is nothing like golden syrup. It's a glossy dark caramel colour. It's a beautiful flavour.
Thank you. Went Amazon and ordered some from Lyles. Going to do this right. 👍
@dnk1870 so you just look up golden syrup?
Does it have a caramel flavor? Looks like it might from the color of it. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I have an old pan like yours, it came with a matching lid. Mine is probably almost 50 years old.
The 1st one butter fudge looked just like my grandmas Christmas fudge! She stirred it though they used 3 to 4 people ending with my grandpa as he could stir it at its thickest stage :) 1 of her grandmas was born and raised in Ireland. I wonder if thats where she got it from?
What kind of thermometer are you using? Please
It's in her Amazon link, up above
Anise candy, how do you make this.😊😊❤❤❤❤
I will try this
Love your videos! What altitude are you?
I wonder if it would work to add a little caramel or butterscotch liquor to the apple or butter fudge🤔
I like keeping my bank account separate. 😂 We have joint accounts, too.
I also always preferred to split on dinners early on dating, then simply trade off on who pays for the whole meal later in dating. To each their own.
Corn surup and holden surup look a diffetent colour. Holden syrup IS golden in colour.
Golden syrup is not the same as corn syrup. The are made from entirely different ingredients.
Corn syrup is derived from... corn.
Golden syrup is derived from cane sugar.
OMG same ingredients and amounts as my grandma's toffee recipe, difference is you boil to hard Crack stage and pour quickly on to a sheet pan and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Next day cover with a piece of wax paper and whack slightly with a table knife handle, anything else will smash the toffee. You only want small pieces that fit your mouth,this will crunch like a Heath candy bar or you can roll it in your mouth till soft and caramel like. Also you can add nuts or coconut right before pouring on to a sheet to cool. SO DELICIOUS. cover top with chocolate after cooled but before cracking into pieces
Which recipe?
Can you please give me the recipe for the cherry fudge? I could not tell how many bags of chocolate you open so I would like to know for sure the recipe and if you had to dry the cherries I really appreciate the recipe. Thank you very much. I enjoy your videos very much.
Golden syurp is a lite molasses
How is your mother doing, Tawra? I miss seeing her. Will she be making her famous gingerbread men this holiday season? Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰
Good, thanks for asking.
The Apple Cider fudge with the apple bits and apple juice...Is the recipe in either of your cookbooks?
not in the cookbook but on our website.
I went on your website and I still can't find the recipe!
@@joycestiltner8437 It's in the Christmas Candies post here: www.livingonadime.com/25-best-easy-christmas-candies#butterfudge
I followed your video for ingredients and instructions because for some reason I still can't find the recipe on your website. Is it 1/4 cup of apple cider and 2 cups sugar?
@@joycestiltner8437 Here you go www.livingonadime.com/apple-cider-recipes-easy-fall-baking-recipes/
You didn't put the recipe for the apple pie spice x
Να γραφετε τις συνταγες στο πρωτο σχολιο μεταφραση ελληνικα κ οτι δειχνετε να γραφετε στην εικονα γραμματα στα ελληνικα διοτι εγω μιλω μονο ελληνικα δεν ξερω την γλωσσα σας!😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
If you let your fudge go a little longer on a slightly lower heat, it will get crumbly and be Scottish Tablet, delicious!
I didn't see you put in the baking soda or whatever it is that makes it foam
Corn syrup and golden syrup are 2 different thing not the same
Golden syrup is more like treacle 😊
No. It is a derivative of raw treacle, as I understand it. It's much lighter in colour and thinner than treacle. We use it a lot in our baking. It has a lovely light golden colour. Almost like a toffee taste. I don't like the taste of actual treacle.
What's that like? I bet it's better than corn syrup.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Would an electric hand mixer in the pan for 15 minutes work? I do that to make cream puffs. Mine has plastic buttons on the bottom of the beaters to prevent scratching.
yes it would.
Isn't this Carmels
Golden syrup is different than corn syrup...a lot
If you wet your parchment paper it will mold into a pan very nicely 😊
I liked kindergarten ❤
There is a candy Irish make out of potaotes. I thought it was a joke at first but it's a real thing.
My family has been making potato candy for at least 5 generations! The first generation was from the Appalachian Mountains. You mash a boiled potato and add powdered sugar and mix until it is like dough. Roll it out to 1/4 inch thickness. Spread creamy peanut butter on dough and roll into a log shape. Wrap in parchment paper and freeze. Let thaw for a few minutes before slicing right before serving.
Who washes all the pots , Pam's, bowels ect.
Why transfer to so many pans? I never do. That one pot is huge! Why?
You could beat it by hand and not loose fudge by having to clean them off
Actually, corn syrup is made from corn starch, golden syrup is made from sugar. The taste is different, but the function probably is the same. You can buy golden syrup at most markets now.
Thanks for telling me. I bet it tastes better?
Pure sugar
Did she really say 6 cups of sugar?
Fused teakettle, lol. Just call it modern art. Set it on a pedestal and charge $1500
Exactly the same as English fudge, just different butter! lol
What did I do wrong? It turned out like Carmel!!
You cooked it too long.
@supereasyrecipe Thank you, at least it tastes wonderful 😋
That is not golden syrup. Golden syrup here in New Zealand is dark almost like treacle.
Ghiradelli is pronounced gear a deli not jer a deli
Oh. I never knew.
The butter fudge is all sugar. Diabetic coma for sure.
Alot of sugar in that fudge,plus putting syrup 😮
