More About Fudge. 
Will you give me some good recipes for 
making chocolate fudge ? 
A NEW JERSEY WOMAN. 
A recipe for chocolate fudge was 
given on page 245, issue of February 
25. Some more fudge recipes follow: 
College Fudge.—Four ounces of choc¬ 
olate, lump of butter size of an egg, 
t\£o heaping cupfuls of granulated 
sugar, three-quarters cup of sweet milk; 
mix and boil ten minutes. Take from 
fire and stir until it begins to harden. 
Add vanilla and chopped nuts. Turn 
into buttered tins and cool. 
“Veribest” Chocolate Fudge. —To 
three cupfuls of coffee sugar add a half- 
pound of grated chocolate (best quality 
and unsweetened). Stir until thoroughly 
mixed, then wet with a half cupful of 
sweet cream; beat to a smooth paste, 
adding as you go on two tablespoonfuls 
of warmed butter. This done, put the 
mixture into a porcelain-lined kettle, 
and set it where it will melt very slow¬ 
ly. It should not reach the boil under 
two hours. At the end of that time in¬ 
crease the heat and boil fast for ten 
minutes, or until a teaspoonful “balls” 
if you manipulate it. Stir into the candy 
two tablespoonfuls of vanilla, and pour 
into buttered pans with straight sides. 
While still rather soft mark into 
squares. 
New Fudge. — One and one-half 
pounds of granulated sugar, one-fourth 
pound of butter, one-fourth pound of 
chocolate, one large tumbler of milk, 
one tablespoonful of vanilla. Boil the 
sugar and milk together for ten minutes, 
then put in the chocolate broken in bits, 
boil seven minutes, add the vanilla, boil 
three minutes. Have the butter creamed. 
When the candy forms a soft ball in 
cold water draw the pan aside, whip in 
the creamed butter, beat hard for a few 
minutes, until the whole grows thick; 
pour quickly into a well-buttered pan. 
Do not add scrapings to the fudge in 
the pan. 
Maple Fudge.—Crush a pound of ma¬ 
ple sugar fine with a rolling pin. Pour 
upon it a pint of hot milk, into which 
you have put a pinch of baking soda. 
Let the sugar melt slowly over the fire, 
and then bring to a fast boil. When 
the sirup threads from the tip of a 
spoon stir in a tablespoonful of butter. 
When it reaches the boil again pour 
into buttered pans and cut into squares 
as it hardens. 
Nut Fudge.—Two cups of sugar, one 
of milk, and a feood tablespoonful of 
butter, put in a double boiler and al¬ 
lowed to boil for five minutes, then take 
off the fire and beat until the top begins 
to glaze ever so slightly. Into the 
mixture pour a cupful of finely chopped 
nuts and half a teaspoonful of vanilla; 
stir again quickly and turn out to cool. 
Chocolate fudge poured over a thick 
layer of chopped marshmallow is great¬ 
ly liked, and makes a pleasant change. 
Ferns from the Woods. 
Some of our wild ferns are well worth 
growing in pots. If allowed their modest 
demands as to water, a clump of maiden¬ 
hair or any other delicate wayside ferns 
will thrive for several seasons in the 
rather cramped quarters of a six-inch 
crock. In a north window between 
muslin curtains it will make a bit of 
delicious green all Summer. Do not keep 
drenched, nor yet allow it to become 
dried out, though its natural sturdiness 
may enable it to thrive without over¬ 
much petting. When new fronds no 
longer push up and the old become rusty, 
set the crock in a corner out of doors 
and winter in a cool cellar. In, Spring 
it will be ready to put on fresh beauty. 
Setting the crock into a jardiniere helps 
to keep the roots cool and damp, and is 
far better than planting directly in the 
glazed receptacle. Being undrained, this 
is wholly unfit for plant roots, but when 
kept free from stagnant water, the jardi¬ 
niere is always a boon to the house¬ 
keeper as well as to plants of all sorts, 
preventing too rapid evaporation and so 
lessening the damage done when—as will 
sometimes happen—water is forgotten.
