Equipment

  • 8 inch square glass dish
  • Parchment Paper
  • Candy Thermometer
  • Blood Orange Extract

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ cup Corn Syrup
  • 1 ¼ cups Milk
  • 3 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Blood Orange Extract
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries chopped

Instructions

  • Before getting started, line an 8″ square pan with parchment paper, or grease generously with butter.
  • Combine sugar, corn syrup, milk, and butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Heat on low, stirring until butter is melted, and all ingredients are well combined.
  • Raise heat to medium, stirring until it comes to a boil. Affix a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F (115 degrees C) – Do not stir.
  • WITHOUT stirring, remove fudge from heat once it reaches 238 degrees. Allow to cool to 120 degrees F (49 degrees C), without stirring. It will be runny – don’t worry!
  • Once mixture cools to 120 degrees, add blood orange extract and sweetened dried cranberries. Use a wooden spoon to beat the mixture until it starts to lose its gloss and becomes A little cloudy. QUICKLY pour into prepared pan.
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
