Good Morning friends - yep I clicked today (I do each day) use the link above and click each day too.
Here I am again - ALIVE AND WELL and spending a quiet weekend with a head all stuffed up, but apart from that I am well. I did have plans to do so much this weekend but it hasn't happened which doesn't really matter.
For those with a "sweet tooth" I found this recipe today:
Easy Caramel Fudge
Serves 40
125g butter
1½ cups Bundaberg rich brown sugar
2 tablespoons Bundaberg golden syrup
395g can condensed milk
180g white cooking chocolate, coarsely chopped
½ cup shelled, unsalted pistachio nuts (optional)
Line a 28cm x 18cm x 3cm pan with foil. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add brown sugar, golden syrup and condensed milk; stir over a medium heat until boiling. Lower heat and cook, stirring for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate; stir until smooth. The fudge will start to set quite quickly, so immediately stir in nuts and pour into prepared pan, then spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate until firm. Cut into small pieces.
(for those overseas - Bundaberg is in the heart of our sugar can growing area in Queensland.)
I am certainly going to try this one. I guess you could change the type of nuts you use to those you really like.
It is a holiday here in Australia and it would be a good day to make something indulgent like this caramel fudge.
Inspiration for me today comes from watching a lovely spider on her dew covered web, constantly working away. She was wonderful and I spent a long time watching.
In the northern hemisphere the glory of the changing leaves and the vibrant colours always inspire me. Here in Australia the blossoms of spring have gone and I noticed some fruit set on the apricot tree at my daughter's home the other day. John was checking the fig tree too and I shall be eagerly awaiting the peaches of the summer season.
Those perennial things always inspire me - the constant rolling on of the seasons and the comfort it brings.
Take care and enjoy the things you see around you, the constants in this life. Be warm and safe and remember that "Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference"
Love and hugs,
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
