Jay’s Divine Fudge

Jay, cookbook author, editor and teacher started me on my cookbook journey. I will be eternally indebted to her for her patience, knowledge and superior editing of my first manuscript. After her excellent class on how to write a cookbook, I rushed home to try her recipe for chocolate fudge. That Christmas everyone in my family received a bag of this delicious fudge. Thank you Jay, for your encouragement and inspiration.

    2 ⅔ cups granulated sugar
