Not sure that TMX would get hot enough for it.  :-\

Hey has anyone tried this as yet ? I'd be interested how you went if you did.  I tried to make Tenina's fudge (link above) and ended up with sticky toffee. I will try it again though, once I'm ready for another huge sweet session. Tenina sent me another one to try but I've been battling with sick kids etc so haven't tried yet.  If anyone is on here from Brisbane, have you heard of Syd's Pie Factory at Tanah Merah (Bris south).  He imports a lot of traditionally Scottish / UK food and also makes Scottish Pies (really yummy).  The imports are not necessarily cheap, but not available anywhere else that we know of but he does keep a lot of obscure things you wouldn't normally see anywhere here (like curry sauce like the fish and chip shops use, UK sweets and confectionery, picalilly (sp?) . He also makes Haggis (yuck !), traditional black pudding (yuck too !), potato cakes / scones (yum), gammon etc etc.  Costs us a fortune when we go. My husband always buys tablet from there when we visit, but I will try making this recipe too.  Just thought you may like to know about it.  Here's the website if you're interested.  http://www.highlandflingproducts.com/, not sure whether he does shipping or not either but you can only ask.

What do you mean?  "Haggis (yuck !), traditional black pudding (yuck too !)"  Och aye the noo Jimmy, I dinnae ken anyone who disnay love haggis & black pudding!

Well actually, my Scottish mother loathes them  ;) ;D ;D  She would say something along the lines of ...  Bugger Robbie Burns night in January with a wee drop o' the doin's and a piece of sheep's guts filled with oatmeal and more non-descript sheep's guts.

But I love black pud and haggis. Love tripe too.

Probably not good to discuss in a thread aboot sweeties ?

Thermomixer, your Mum sounds lovely.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

So did anyone try this recipe? I'm just about too with refined sugar, forgot to grab can sugar and the kids do not want to go out.
