great lakes mom, that recipe looks good ! I would guess the syrup would be corn syrup ?
Thinking about that , I looked up penuche fudge and saw a Martha Stewart recipe . It looked pretty simple. I might try to make it the next time I visit my mother.
No, no corn syrup. They use a specialty syrup that is far better tasting than corn syrup, called golden syrup. We used to spread it on toast with butter. http://www.amazon.com/Tate-Lyles-Golden-Syrup-454g/dp/B0001590BY I found other recipes that named the golden syrup, sorry that one didn’t.
Is that something that you can buy here ? I have never heard of it…
It is in some specialty shops with a British section. As well as on Amazon, above.
Tate and Lyle golden syrup is great on toast. (I’m from England where it is pretty much a staple in everyone’s pantry). It is becoming more widely available in the US. I can even get it in the tiny British section of the little ethnic section in the grocery store in the small town where I live. It used to come in tin cans but comes in a bottle now. My Mum used to make the most wonderful ginger cake that had golden syrup in the recipe. Have tried it over here without success - not sure if it’s a difference in the flour or what
