A different fudge recipe for those who like pineapple (and we do)

My big ole wife has made fudge for a 150 years but for the last two years it has not set up! Have you got a clue what I did wrong?

If fudge does not "set up" and she has been making it for 150 years, she is probably not beating it enough (15 minutes minimum) or she is not cooking it long enough. Buy her a candy thermometer and/or give her a hand with the beating. After all those years, she is probably loosing strength to beat.

For an absolutely positively no fail modern fudge, there are recipes all over, on the back of choc. chip packs, on the back of marshmallow liquids-you just mix and cook in microwave. Easy and yummy too.

I'm not the best fudgemaker in the world but I think it has to do with the beating. If you don't beat it enough it can do that.
