Mamie Eisenhower's Fudge
This is the original version of the recipe as
it came to me
from "Mammy", my maternal grandmother my grandmother:
"Mix 4 cups granulated sugar, a pinch of
salt, 2 tablespoons butter,
and a tall
can undiluted evaporated milk in a large heavy
saucepan.
Boil the mixture 6
minutes. Watch the clock and stir constantly.
In a large bowl, place 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, 12
ounces German sweet
chocolate, 1 pint marshmallow
cream, 3
cups chopped walnuts or pecans and
1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour
hot syrup over
ingredients in bowl and beat until the
chocolate
is melted. Pour into buttered
pans and
let stand for at least
several
hours to set. Keeps well."
Following is the version of the recipe I use, in
which only the method
has
been rearranged in order to facilitate the process…
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
12 ounces German sweet chocolate
1 pint marshmallow cream
3 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter
One 12-ounce can undiluted evaporated milk
In a very large bowl, place the chocolate chips, German chocolate,
marshmallow cream, chopped nuts and vanilla. In a large heavy saucepan
mix together sugar,
salt, butter and evaporated milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring
constantly. Boil 6 minutes, continuing to stir. Pour the hot syrup over ingredients in
bowl and beat the mixture until the chocolate is melted. Pour the fudge into buttered pans
(I use one 9-by-13-inch and one 9-by-9-inch) and let stand at least several hours to set.
There
is NEVER any of this fudge left over. My family wouldn't tolerate my
using any other
recipe for holiday fudge!
