mmmmmmmmmmm !!!!
-

-

-

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm love me sweeties and that sounds fandabidosie!!!!
-
after a night in the fridge, its still a bit wobbly - I think i've done a booboo!! might have to have it as 'goo with ice cream' for pud!
-
did you beat it until it goes grainy like wet sand??
-
A good way to tell if it is ready (i.e. will set) is to have a glass of ice cold water next to the mixture, drop some in and if it doesn't turn the water cloudy and holds together it's done - sounds like yours wasn't quite at that stage - have another go - but the 'ice cream goo' sounds deee-lish!
-
hi sharon and winslowporker - seems mine didn't quite get beaten enough so will try again another day!
the kids devoured the goo with spoons (dentist will love me!!)
-
And wash it down with a couple of mars bars and some fizzy pop just to really get the dentist on side :o

Goats milk tablet or fudge is great, we used to make a lot of tablet. In the good old days we used to sell it (along with chilled little cups of goats milk) in the goat tent at the Royal Highland Show.

Oh michale I'm all agog at your recipe. What happens next? What is it supposed to make? What will it look like?

Probably didn't boil it for quite long enough

It needs to go solid enough that you can just roll it into a ball between your fingers. If you boil it for more than that you will have toffee.

Need to do this too to get the right texture, but leave off the heat for 5 minutes before beating and then stir it until it loses its gloss. Stick it in a tin. Enjoy.
