Homemade Fudge....

Once upon a time there was a thirteen year old girl who lived on a tiny island with 85 people on it. She watched a film called "Mermaids" and saw someone making fudge. She ignored the storyline and thought it would be fun to make fudge. So she went home and she found her mum's cookery book with the faded yellow pages and she found a family recipe for vanilla fudge...She made it and it was delicious.

But there was too much......so she sold some at the island fete. People loved it and asked for more. She started selling it by the side of the road every summer and it paid for her dance lessons......


A long time went by.....When she came back from University in the summer she didn't need a summer job anymore because the fudge paid for that. She just kept making fudge. Vanilla fudge, clotted cream fudge, chocolate fudge, coffee fudge, rum and raisin fudge, whisky and ginger fudge, cherry fudge...you get the idea. She made her stall pretty and sometimes people left her notes telling her how much they loved the fudge....

One day a hollywood star stopped and told her he loved the fudge and visited the stall every year.

But the little girl had to get a proper job one day so she left the island and the fudge behind....
But people kept knocking at the door asking for fudge so the little girl's mummy started making it. She made the kitchen bigger and shinier but kept making the fudge one batch and a time and stirred it by hand. She started using local milk, cream and butter so it didn't come from the mainland.

And people still knocked at the door.....so the little girl, her sister and their mummy made a website so people can order the fudge online. A TV crew came and follow the mummy for a BBC 2 series.....

You can now buy the fudge here

I would post the recipe but it is a top secret........
