How to prepare a delicious Russian fudge

Butter a 20cm|8" square baking tin.

Put all the ingredients except the vanilla, into a heavy-based pan.

Heat slowly, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.

Increase the heat and slowly bring to a boil.

Boil steadily without stirring for 15-20 minutes, until a little of the mixture can be rolled into a soft ball between your finger and thumb when dropped into cold water (115°C|238°F on a sugar thermometer).

Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Allow to stand for 5 minutes, then beat well until the mixture 'grains' and becomes thick and creamy and loses its gloss.

Pour into the tin and cut into squares when set.
