Sour Milk Fudge
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Cornstarch, | 1 tablespoon |
| Sour milk (not too old), | 1½ cups |
| Chocolate, | 1 square |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Walnut meats (chopped), | ½ cup |
Betsey first grated the chocolate and mixed it well with the cornstarch and sugar, then added, gradually, the sour milk.
These she cooked until a little of the syrup tried in cold water formed a soft ball.
Removing from the fire, Betsey beat the fudge until it began to sugar, then she added the butter and chopped nuts.
Betsey learned that the longer you beat this fudge the more creamy it became and it gave a high gloss when cold.
Of course it was poured into a buttered pan and marked in squares as usual.
