Recipe for Saffron fudge
About 40 pieces
Ingredients
50 g butter
3 dl powdered sugar (3 dl equals approx. 270 g)
3 dl whipping cream
1 1/2 dl light syrup (1 1/2 dl equals approx. 210 g)
1 tsp white wine vinegar
2 packets saffron (1/2 g each)
1–2 tsp flaked salt
How to do
Mix all ingredients except saffron and flaked salt in a thick-bottomed saucepan measuring approx. 21 cm in diameter.
Bring to a boil and let cook slowly for approx. 25–30 minutes. Stir often and don’t leave it unattended.
Do a ball test – take a small amount of the batter and add into cold water. If it solidifies and can be
rolled into a ball, it’s ready.
Stir in the saffron. Pour the caramel mixture into a small baking paper-lined pan, about 15 x 20 cm (for 40 pieces). Sprinkle with flaked salt. Let cool at room temperature.
Cut the caramel into pieces. Store at room temperature in an airtight jar with baking paper
between each layer.
Enjoy!
