it may be difficult to understand what its supposed to taste like if youve never tried it. its a recipe for 'tablet' we get it in here, and perhaps some other parts of the uk. its very sweet and tasty , and a diabetics nightmare. ive heard it compared to an indian sweet 'barfi' i think its called. anyway…
ingredients:
1lb bag of sugar
half a block of butter (125g)
1 tin of condensed milk (small)
1 cup of milk
-put all ingredients in a heavy pot and heat on a low-moderate heat.
-stir continually all ingredients till mixed and sugar is dissolved
-continue to leave on heat, checking and stirring every 5 mins or so for about 1 1/2 hrs
-after time the mixture will start to darken (from a pale yellow, to a caramel/fudge type colour) and thicken , once this starts to happen and the mixture is thick and bubbling take off heat and beat with a wooden spoon to thicken.
-once mixture is really thick and hard to stir pour into a greased dish and leave to cool and set.
-cut into pieces and devour.
may sound weird but i urge you to try it, theres not a taste like it.
