I don't know what I did wrong but it never got pass 220 degrees for me. I'm heart-sick because I used premium, juicy, freshly picked strawberries from Eckert's in IL. When I added the lemon juice to the boiling mixture, it curdled. That was not a good indicator, in my book. Save yourself a lot of TIME and disappointment and make some "Cinnamon Glazed Strawberries" to serve over vanilla ice cream instead!

I made this yesterday because it sounded intriguing and I had a boatload of fresh-picked strawberries to use up. I have to admit, the five stars is primarily for flavor (wonderful!), because I'm not sure that mine came out right, texture-wise. I used a thermometer and cooked it to 234ºF. Instead of a solid fudge, I ended up with a pan of lovely pink chewy strawberry toffee. It doesn't really hold it's shape when cut, but it tastes great! I'm not exactly a candymaker, and I've heard that real fudge is kind of hard to make (as opposed to quick fudge with canned milk), so I may have just done something wrong. At any rate, it's still a yummy candy. I'll have to try it again to see if I can get it to at least be solid. And if not, I'll just have another pan of strawberry toffee, no big deal. Thanks for posting!

Made this just the other night. Thought it sounded very interesting and original. I was not disappointed. This was very good, creamy fudge that was not overly sweet. I love the color. My stove doesn't heat too well so it took a bit longer to cook and I used a candy thermometer. Definitely great for the summer!
