Trail Mix White Fudge
1/2 cup dried caranberries
1/2 cup dried apricots, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1/2 cup roasted pistachios, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, cut into pieces
2/3 cup cup sugar
1 (5 oz) can evaporated milk
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz ( 1 1/2 cups) white chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
Spray an 8 inch pan with cooking spray. Fit a 8 x 16 inch sheet
of foil in the pan so that you can use the foil overhang as a handle
to pull fudge from the pan. Place cranberries, apricots, pistachios and ginger
in a medium bowl. Then bring sugar, milk and salt to a full boil in a medium
heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly,
until mixture thickens and starts to turn a pale caramel, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, quickly stir in marshmallows, then chocolate, and stir vigorously
until the marshmalls start to melt. Pour mixture into bowl with fruit and nuts;
continue to mix vigorously, using hands once mixture cools to warm.
Press fudge into prepared pan. Refrigerate until cool and hard, about 1 1/2 hours.
