I made my Orange Chocolate fudge
this morning and it is setting in
the fridge:
Below is the (obviously)
well used:)))) recipe

and below
is my

Friendship Christmas Fudge
never fail recipe
above;;;;;;
{using white chocolate bits,
dried cranberries, freshly
zested orange rind, and
I used sliced almonds
this time...}
So I can check these off my
list for Christmas preps
;))))
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
AND...
While I was putting the fudges
together, I put two trays of
diced, stale bread crusts
dotted with olive oil and
spices to make our next
batch of croutons.
I cannot see throwing crusts away that we
really don't eat that much!!
Instead I save them in the fridge and
dice them up right before
baking...
They take about 1&1/2 hrs
at 225 degrees---
stirred about
once halfway
through....
(don't stint on the good olive oil!!)
And now they will be savored on salads
and on Tom's soups--he is going
to make Canadian yellow
pea soup tomorrow for us...
What a guy👴
👄👫😗
*******************
I hope you are all making headway
with your preparations for the
big day...or if you don't do holidays,
are just enjoying this little respite from
the bitter cold today...
Hugs, Julierose,

Not much time for reading this morning--but i will take a little nap now, I think:::::))))))
ReplyDeleteBoth of your fudge varieties look yummy! And those recipes look easy, too. I remember fudge being very finicky to make back in the day! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good day in the kitchen! I love pea soup. I haven't heard of Canadian yellow pea soup so I'll look it up.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time I had fudge but I could be easily convinced to try your Orange Chocolate version.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to use crusts. There are way too much waste among people these days. Your fudges look yummy.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes please to the Orange Chocolate fudge. Actually, it all sounds delicious. Such a good idea to bake the bread crusts. Croutons are always fabulous in salads and soups. Your place must smell divine with all these flavours swirling around.
ReplyDeleteBoth pans of fudge look delish! That white chocolate made my mouth water. I've made tea cups and peanut butter blossoms so far. Next up are sand tarts. I don't think we are making everything this year. The kids are trying to be 'healthy.' Bah Humbug!!
ReplyDeleteOh the fudge looks delicious!!! I can seriously tell that the recipe is well used. The "good" recipes have evidence of use on them at my house too. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteYum! Your fudges look tempting. And homemade croutons make a lot of sense with stale bread that would otherwise be thrown away. I'm not baking anything this year. With only my daughter coming on Christmas Eve, it doesn't make sense to make dozens of cookies. I'm getting lazy in my old age.
ReplyDeletePat
Oh, your fudge looks so tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipes.
ReplyDeleteExcellent plan for the croutons - and you are so right about good olive oil! We've done early Christmas with Young Man's family and are now almost ready for our own quiet Christmas Day. Happy welcome-to-the-other-side-of-the-winter-solstice days, and thanks for the fudge recipes.
ReplyDeleteThe fudge looks yummy! Greg just made a batch of chocolate to give some to his Dad. I'll make some cookies today to go with it for a little tray for him. Merry Christmas to you both.
ReplyDeleteI'll be taking my checkerboard cake tomorrow morning! I haven't made it in years. I hope it comes out good! Your fudge looks delish!
