STRAWBERRY FUDGE
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
3 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 ¾ cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Butter a 9×9 inch dish.
Combine milk, sugar and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; boil. Stir in strawberries and lemon juice. Heat, stirring constantly, to between 234 and 240 ºF (112 to 116 ºC), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
Remove from heat and quickly spread in prepared pan. Let cool before cutting and serving.
