Russian Fudge

675g (1 1/2 lbs) Sugar
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 tin Sweetened Condensed Milk
125g (4oz) Butter
1/8 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Golden Syrup

Put sugar and milk into a saucepan, mix, cover and slowly bring to the boil.  Add condensed milk, butter, salt and golden syrup.  Boil until it reaches soft ball stage, about 30 minutes stirring occasionally.  Cool then beat until thick.  Pour into sponge roll tin or shallow tin, mark and cut when set.  Vanilla and nuts may be added if desired. OR MY OWN PERSONAL PREFERENCE... 3tsp Ground Ginger added to the mix!!! YUM
