Aunt Myrna's 5 minute fudge

[alostpast]

what does it mean by evaporated milk



[fall22123]

Jack, I love your show, I've gotten some good ideas, it is funny, and I look forward to your new videos on Fridays...but that was some nasty fudge. It looked like ice cream sauce. There was too much sugar and not enough heat. I've never been a fan of timing the boil of candy. You have to use a candy thermometer. I just made some peanut butter fudge for Christmas and I think it needed to be about 235 deg. It turned out awesome. Firm, creamy, and not too sweet.

[solobelle0433]

Lol on 2:06 on the red bar :-)

[bandit5296]

Jack, what is the difference between regular milk, and evaporated milk? I never got what the difference was.

[PeedeeL1]

Hi--Just watched your fudge. Now this is the way I learned to make fudge watching my mother back in W. VA. The only difference is that when she dropped the fudge in the water, she said it had to make a "ball" before dropping to the bottom. Other than that, I love Aunt Myrna's recipes. Ask her if she ever heard of Grape-Nuts pudding. Mother used to make it all the time and have never been able to find a recipe for it. So I devised my own, but somehow it's not the same. Love the show.

[silkorganza]

Excellent and so clear;-)

[PandaPal127]

iam 11 ad i made it it is good

[124randomness]

Can I use any thing to substitute evaporated milk???

[jakatak69]

@124randomness not sure. try an internet search "replace evaporated milk"

[trainfan761]

Im only 12! Stop making me hungry :P

[space13awesomer]

@trainfan761 actually i am 12 too and i made this so i guess you should satisfy youre hunger now lol

[dorkysushi]

@trainfan761 i'm 11 lol

[NoobPwner2448]

Say, Jack. Ive noticed your editing is good. So what editing software do you use? And will it work for Windows 7? How much does it cost?

P.S. You're doing as amazing as ever, possibly better, never mind you're the f*cking best!

[jakatak69]

@NoobPwner2448 I use final cut pro. The new version is coming out for mac in June 2011. if your on a PC then go with Adobe Premiere. it's the best PC editing software out there.

[unoriginalmedia]

@NoobPwner2448

for pc i would highly recommend sony vegas, it is far more stable than adobe premier. you can get a consoumer level version for only 100$

[tijuanamarisol666]

@NoobPwner2448 remember; all programs are free... if you look hard enough... personally, I like Sony Vegas 10e, but Jack recommends Final Cut Pro, so if you find that that works for you then by all means use that instead

[502shifty502]

put some marshmellow cream in with it and it'll kind of foam up like traditional fudge.

[TestesAreNowGone]

where do i get evaporated milk? im not expirienced with buying ingredients, they're usually all there for me to use.please tell me!

[jakatak69]

@TestesAreNowGone any supermarket on the baking aisle. Just ask someone for help at the store.

[bang477]

probly should cool it 2



[Clearstarsummer]

its realy nice that you listen to your viewers



[fireandblazes26]

try cooling it down in the refrigerator so it can solidify more

[CaptCharisma09]

Jack can you use the fudge on like ice cream or the chocolate in a chocolate milkshake, or will it thicken up?

[jakatak69]

@CaptCharisma09 it never really got thick for me. Just kind of gooey like tootsie rolls at room temperature. try it on ice cream and let me know.

[derekbegins]

do not substitute evaporated milk with regular milk... evaporated milk are much thicker..

you can find evaporated milk in the canned product section of your supermarket/groceries store. it should be near the "Sweetened" condense milk.

[XZSerenityZX]

wow this would be like, the perfect topping for brownies or even cakes

[GwresYnKernow]

Evaporated (or Dehydrated, which is more correct term since it's not the milk itself that's evaporated!) Milk is simply milk which has had some of the water (about 60%, technically) evaporated out of it. If you can't find it in a store, simply boil some regular milk until it's about half the quantity you started with (so in this recipe, start with a whole cup and simmer until just under half a cup is left). Voila, evaporated milk. :) It's thicker and creamier than fresh milk.

[xxTwizllersxx]

Making it right now Jack!

But don't be an idiot like me who over sprayed the pan too much with Pam and now I see some yellow buttery swirl in mine...

[evileye626]

can u eat it frozen?

[jakatak69]

@evileye626 love it frozen. be careful on your teeth. I don't really like it soft as much.

[krimlet17]

puros dada.

[axelsaulean]

loved the foil disclaimer :)

[SuperNaturalRabbbits]

Can you use regular milk??



[NiKKiBSEXCii]

@SuperNaturalRabbbits MILK IS MILK ! i'm sure its fine !

[xxTwizllersxx]

can you use regular milk?

[lilawunder95]

@xxTwizllersxx no you can´t because it´s Dehydrated Milk, it´s a bit thicker than normal milk.. it tasts like a mix between cream and milk, so it hasn´t that much calories as cream but it tasts a bit like it.

I hope you can understand my horrible english

[xxTwizllersxx]

@lilawunder95 No, I understand your english. Thank you!

[MissySancha]

okay, thanks guysX3

[yaoifangirl2009]

oh i have a good tip for making fudge, never scrape down the sides (as hard as it may be) because it'll make it grainy ^^

[fabefanatic]

For some reason the fudge would not settle and cool for me, any tips ?

[jakatak69]

@fabefanatic leave over night in fridge. Also maybe stir for a few more minutes and get it to cook down a bit more. it's hard to say on each stove. it is about 5 minutes. Get it to thicken a little more.

[iPattou]

I just love your cooking show Jack!!!

[ikongod22]

Jack vs Washing Machine FAIL

[XTCizzle]

cool it in a lightly buttered glass baking dish

[d44102]

i just wanted to give a tip for this recipe let it sit in the fridge over night to setup it will be more firm my mom use to make this when i was a kid i love this stuff

[elvixteo]

hey my oven doesnt have a broiler flame but it does have a heating source on top can i use that to melt cheese?

[neftary86]

hi, its seems like malaysian traditional food here.. it so called 'dodol' but we replace choc powder with durian to get the flavor.. hehe.. nice!

[sablesoul]

@xdaysx

Sticky Fudge is old-fashioned fudge. It certainly isn't a brownie or anything, that's why fudge syrup is so thick on ice creams and such. You can put it in the fridge to harden it a bit and it taastes great.

[coleisaphosphate]

Jack where do you get your intro and outro music from?

[Blueball0120]

Looks good!

[GoranMak]

I tried registering on your community. I made my user name and password. Then it said I have to activate my account, and an email would be sent. No email came. Checked spam. Nothing. Went back and tried to log in. Nope. Said if there was a prob. to contact administrator. NO contact link. Oh well..whassup wit dat? LOL

[jakatak69]

@GoranMak I will look into it. Thanks.

[tech2kn0w]

is it like chocolate fudge toffee?

[thecountrybaker]

one more thing i forgot that is important.....dont let your fudge cool complectly before cutting it into squares because it will crumble a tiny little bit. when it is warm and slightly firm but not cool cut it into bite size pieces.

[kingdarko]

looks like the fudge you heat up and pour on a pudding and have a scoop of ice cream with :D

[thecountrybaker]

correction 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan lol. its really good! if you give it another try let me know. hope this helps.

[thecountrybaker]

HEY JACK! i just got through making Aunt Myrna's Chocolate Fudge and I want to say that mine didnt come out sticky and soft like yourse. It turnt into old fashion fudge you know the kind with a little grainy feel to it like hersheys cocoa fudge. I did one thing different witch was i took it off heat and beat it with a wooden spoon until it no longer bubbled then i poured it into a greased 8x8 or 8x8 inch pan to let cool. I used butter flavored spray to grease my pan. it is a great recipe. thanks

[jakatak69]

@thecountrybaker wow. much better. Great job.

[MrIam1nsane]

"Tell your wife to not do laundry while YOUR making a video". YOUR????!

[jakatak69]

@MrIam1nsane thanks teacher. i will remember the you're next time.

[mareksison]

I don't quite get it, why did he say NOT to use a foiled pan

[kingdarko]

@mareksison because the foil stuck to the fudge so much

[jakatak69]

@mareksison the foil was a bad idea. I don't know what I was thinking. It stuck to the fudge and was hard to remove.

[ScarletteRibbons]

I know you are using recipes for the average person, but you really should start cooking healthier foods. All your 'Aunt Myrna" recipes are disgustingly rich and have way too much sugar. You yourself are advertising weight loss, so maybe you should try encouraging other people to eat healthier rather than putting up recipes that contain whole packets of sugar.

[zackwolgamott]

april fool

[Comptonandjuice]

you eating the fudge gave me a boner

[TheLemonLily]

"it's really sticky, wow" that's what she said haha

[dadddycool]

would it work with regular milk aslo?

[Espeon02]

@dadddycool i think my dad does it with regular milk. When you heat milk in a saucepan it thickens

[MissPonderosa]

I subscribed to you a while back, I love your matter-of-fact attitude....and desserts :D GG !

[markro4kd]

april fools

[RaeLynnShikure]

@youtoofoofool actually, evaporated milk and powdered milk are not the same thing. Evaporated milk is a liquid. Powdered milk is not.

[wille35]

Don't tell me it's 5 minute fudge when the video is 7:37 long!

[romankok]

@wille35 are you that stupid? damm...

[wille35]

@romankok you apparently have no sense of humor

[MrMcFilthy]

@wille35 ...No, that was just retarded and not funny.

[chickenlaise]

JACK! NEVER SCRATCH UR TEFLON PANS!!! THEY HAVE AN EASY WASH COATING, AND IT WILL BREAK IF YOU SCRAPE IT LIKE U DID WITH UR WOODEN SPOON!!

[EDvids113]

@chickenlaise wood doesn't scratch metal -_-

[Cordi666]

@chickenlaise Teflon doesnt get damaged unless you use metal on it. Using wooden spoons on teflon is totally safe, infeact Teflon will reccomend you use Wooden spoons or Latex cooking equipment

[hanzithaking]

just put my homemade soup recipe on your site and i hope you like it :-)

[jakatak69]

@hanzithaking i will look. thank you.

[woodquentin]

Jack i just made this and i put it in the fridge about 2-3 hours ago, and its still not hard. Its about the consistensy on pudding. how can i fix this?

[TrowbridgeHardcore]

@woodquentin freeze it, not completely frozen but just to ahrden it a bit

[jakatak69]

@woodquentin freeze it. let me know.

[squirrel6158]

jack PLEASE keep washing machine running when filming!!!

[jakatak69]

@squirrel6158 I am so used to the sound that I didn't even hear it until editing.

[JustNess78]

never been a big fudge fan, but the hubby and i got some fudge when we vacationed out in Tombstone, Az a couple months ago. it was amazing! i think it was called grandma's fudge. it had marshmellow mixed in... yum! best.... fudge.... ever! btw, best vacation ever, too... lol =)

[DanZero77]

Had an issue with the foil I see?

[jakatak69]

@DanZero77 I HATED THAT FOIL. WAS I A BIG IDIOT OR WHAT. man, that wasn't smart.

[DanZero77]

@jakatak69 Yeah, and I commented once I saw what you did, I was a bigger idiot for not letting the video finish and you saw what you did there with the disclaimer at the end!!!!

[jakatak69]

@DanZero77 no big. we are all good. thanks for watching. :D

[kingcool578]

thumbs up for 1911 button

[madwiebe]

Two questions:

First, is Aunt Myrna your actual aunt?

Second, would this recipe also count as a lazy man's recipe?

I love your show! Keep cooking!

[jakatak69]

@madwiebe how funny. I almost made it a lazy man episode but didn't want to take away from aunt myrna. Yes she is my wife's aunt. We love her. In fact we are filming her this fall at her house in Alabama.

[TheVittleVlog]

Thumbs up for Aunt Myrna!!!

[nintendonerdgoodbad2]

If you want REAL fudge go to makina islad... they make the BEST FUDGE EVER!!!!

[XxBlackIrishxX]

Dude that kinda looks like melty Tootsie roles. Think rolling, cutting, and chilling hard?

[jakatak69]

@XxBlackIrishxX OMG your right.

[jeffydude2008]

im defininitly making this this later

[jaspurgaard]

now you have to pack that fudge!

[jakatak69]

@jaspurgaard nice!

[DaemonTFO]

o.o

[inspector941]

I wonder if Splenda would work instead of sugar? May give it a whirl.

[Jinxxed0]

do you think putting it in the fridge over night would help it harden?

[nintendonerdgoodbad2]

@Jinxxed0 ive made fudge and yes it does.

[jakatak69]

@Jinxxed0 yes. I like my fudge harder.

[Velocigay]

are you even reading this? hello? xD

lmao

[jakatak69]

@Velocigay yes. I am reading this. Why do you ask?

[Velocigay]

@jakatak69 I mean the part in the Video, my fault^^ 2:06

Sorry :D

[MissySancha]

what's evaporated milk?:/

[dabul3169]

@MissySancha missy sancha, i like that name lol it's a milk you can find in a can. im sure you can find it anywhere. why would anyone "thumps up" this comment?

[JereHakala]

@MissySancha Evaporated milk, also known as dehydrated milk, is a shelf-stable canned milk product with about 60% of the water removed from fresh milk.

[MissySancha]

@JereHakala

ohh okay, thanks^^''

[CoRRuPtHDxz]

@MissySancha  sweeter?

[enrikejs]

@MissySancha

Nestle Ideal

[youtoofoofool]

@MissySancha powdered milk

[BFFFL16]

@MissySancha milk that has been heated in a process to "evaporate" the water out of it which makes the milk thicker and denser than regular milk. evaporated milk has a high vitamin content and high calorie. and thats evaporated milk.

[soubiluv98]

@MissySancha its the milk you find in the baking aisle that comes in a can. ;P

[kingdarko]

@MissySancha i am not 100% sure but it's almost like cream but normally comes in a can. I don't know the exact difference, but my dad always seams to be drinking it out of the an around Christmas time :D

[azntranc3951]

@MissySancha

You'll find it in the baking isle of your local super market. Make sure you are buying EVAPORATED milk and not condensed milk. Condensed milk is sweetened.

Good luck !

[MasoodSaaed]

@MissySancha dehydrated milk

[ThomasBaluWalter]

@MissySancha Evaporated milk is the thicker (fat?) milk you put in your coffee.

[bskulldragon100]

@MissySancha its like sweet and condenced but its not

[M0d3rator]

@MissySancha milk changed from a fluid state to a gas

[AGuyNotPlaying]

@M0d3rator

Lmao...no... It's just milk that has water removed so it has a longer shelf life.

[ShynobiPwnz]

@MissySancha You can get it at a supermarket; it comes in a tin can.

[Gwaziiscorner]

@MissySancha It's the product of evaporating milk ;)

[lilawunder95]

@MissySancha Dehydrated Milk, it´s a bit thicker than normal milk.. it tasts like a mix between cream and milk, so it hasn´t that much calories as cream but it tasts a bit like it.

I hope you can understand my horrible english.

I´m just 15 years old and from Germany

[MissySancha]

@lilawunder95

its okay, thanks a lot

and your english is great^^

[aric126]

@MissySancha powder milk
