Butter Tablet Recipe Please

Ok, I know I shouldn't say this but...Sainsbury's do an *amazing* fudge - Taste the Difference Maple Fudge - it's very much like tablet in texture and tastes absoutely gorgeous. I can't make tablet (believe me, I've tried!), so this is a good compromise occasionally.

being a bit of a fudge expert (due to consuming copius amounts!) I have to say I agree with you - the Sainsburys Maple Fudge is just gorgeous. New Forest Fudge is the best though! (both are tablet fudge!..none of this soft stuff!)

What is TABLET may I ask?

It's a Scottish sweetie. It's somewhere between fudge and Kendal mint cake (without the mint) It comes in a 'tablet' or block, broken up and it crumbles in your mouth then melts into a sugary, gloopy delicious taste explosion. It has a similar taste to vanilla fudge but a firmer, crumbly texture.

my local farm shop sell it so i just let them do all the hard work and go and buy a bag now and again lol

an important bit of making tablet is to make sure the sugar is thoroughly dissolved before boiling, as it wont dissolve after that

very good point twink

it can take a while to get it all dissolved at first, but it's worth the effort for the difference it makes to the texture of the finished tablet

(otherwise it can turn out all coarse & grainy)

we often used to buy tablet at a sale of work etc, only to be disappointed crunching the sugar it should just melt in your mouth

Hmm. I like it when you get tiny crystals of sugar in it and a kind of rough texture. Mmmmmm!
