My husband is making chocolate fudge...

Thank you, that looks nice and simple. I will try it tomorrow when I cook some chicken joints, so that I have some idea what I am doing.

On the subject of rum etc. I have a recipe for Christmas Pudding that can be made shortly ie a week or two before Christmas. It lists rum as an ingredient, but I have not got any rum, can I use brandy instead or port or what would you suggest or leave it out altogether. I have got the sherry that the recipe says should be used. It also says "gravy browning" but is that just to add colour? Seems strange to add a salty/coloured liquid to a fruity pudding.

Gravy Browning, gravy browning WTF leave it out you do not add that to Xmas pudding.

As for the rum you can leave it out or add any over that you wish it is all down to what you like.

I agree with you about leaving out the Gravy Browning. I think I shall use Port instead of Rum.

If you do use Port give it a bit longer to soak in as it is a bit denser then Rum.
