Sour Cream Fudge
Enjoy the tangy and creamy goodness of homemade sour cream fudge. Perfect as a festive treat or a sweet snack anytime.
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup candied cherries, chopped, optional
- 1/2 cup pecans, or walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Add sugar, sour cream, corn syrup, and salt to the saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the mixture boils. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it reaches about 238°F on a candy thermometer, or soft ball* stage. Remove from heat.
- Add butter and vanilla without stirring; cool to lukewarm or about 110°F, then beat vigorously until fudge is creamy and no longer glossy.
- Stir in cherries (if using) and nuts.
- Pour the fudge mixture into a buttered 8-inch square pan or, for thicker pieces, a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- Cool until firm, then cut into squares.
Notes
*To Test for Soft Ball Stage
A small amount of candy syrup dropped into chilled water forms a ball, but flattens a bit when picked up with fingers (234 F to 240 F).
