Tablet not setting

[billycoen]

I've just had a go at making some Tablet,looks like i didn't boil it enough.It's sitting in the fridge at the mo,i was hoping it would set a bit more than it has.I was wondering,could i lob it back in a saucepan and boil it a bit more,or is all lost.it tastes lovely though,so we will eat it anyway.I just wanted to take some on a day hike tomorrow,but it wont travel well as is.

You can. Just bring it back up to the boil, don't let it stick or burn, make sure it's at the soft ball stage (a wee dribble in a mug of cold water will form a soft ball you can squidge between your fingers), take it off the heat and beat it really well.....Himself sometimes does that by putting the pot into a sink with a couple of inches of cold water, but you have to be careful because it'll set really quickly that way.

Best of luck with it

Can someone explain what tablet is?

 

[billycoen]

It's just sugar,conny milk and butter,looks like fudge,tastes loads nicer.
