Seriously GOOD Rum & Raisin Fudge
Seriously GOOD Rum & Raisin Fudge
Ingredients
100g raisins
50ml A&O Temple spiced rum
1/2 tsp of A&O Meat Tinsel festive rub
450g of golden caster sugar
400g of double cream
50g of real butter
15g glucose syrup
20g of vanilla bean paste
Good pinch of salt (to taste)
How to make these amazing treats!
Place the raisins in a suitable tub & add the temple rum and meat tinsel, cover and leave to soak for at least 24 hours.
Drain off any excess liquid and dispose of responsibly ;)
Prepare and line a 20x20 cake tin with parchment paper.
Using a large pan, gently melt the butter then add all of the ingredients except the vanilla bean paste and rum soaked raisins.
Stir occasionally until it comes to the boil. Using a thermapen or other instant read thermometer, keep on a high heat until it reaches 116 degree C.
When it hits this critical temperature, place an inch of cold water in a sink then use that water to quench the bottom of the saucepan. This will draw the heat out and prevent temperature carry over.
Leave the mixture to cool until the mix drops to 110c. Add a good pinch of salt, the vanilla and stir-in the drained raisins.
