South African fudge

Ingredients
4 cups sugar (4X 250ml)
1 cup milk (1X 250ml)
125g butter
5ml vanilla essence
1 tin condensed milk

Method
In a large pot, pour in sugar, milk, butter and vanilla essence.
Turn the heat on to medium, and bring to the boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.
When the sugar has dissolved, pour in the condensed milk and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat so that the mixture boils slowly (too quickly and it will burn).
Stir continuously with a wooden spoon, in a figure 8, for about 30 to 40min.
Make sure you keep the mixture moving.When the mixture "looks right" test it by pouring a small amount into a glass of clear water.
If it sets, then the mixture is ready.
Alternatively, dip a clean spoon into the mixture, and see if it sets on the spoon.
Pour into a greased braking tray / rectangular dish, and allow to cool.
Before it sets hard, cut into squares.
