Smoked Butter Fudge

[minesamojito]

I’m sceptical about a lot of things in life, but am always willing to be surprised, as I find myself by the whole twittering business. I’ve found it a great way to find interesting and likeminded people who are into food and writing about it. There seems to be a rich vein of talented food writers and bloggers living in Devon.

So when I recently planned to smoke some butter, I was contacted by Devons newest food blogger Mandy Foster from Chilli & Chai who was hoping to utilise some of my smoked butter for a cunning recipe she had come up with for Smokin’ Fudge. So I sent her a sample cold smoked with Beech and Apple to give the butter a lovely sweet smokiness.

I was over the moon to then receive back a sample of the incredibly moreish Smokin’ Fudge that Mandy had made from my butter. Though I would have to say that it has turned out to be divisive, with some people loving it, and others not. I was just really pleased that Mandy had given this a go and had produced something that was unusual and innovative, and I’m most definitely in the love it camp, the more I eat the more I want to keep nibbling on it.

Visit chilliandchai.wordpress.com/2012/02/20/smokin/ for the recipe.

it's such a versatile ingredient RG, peps up a lot of things, think medium rare beef with smoked butter glistening and melting into it.......
