Ingredients:

300ml whole milk
550g sugar
100g butter
60g finely-chopped sour cherries

Method:

Place the milk in a medium pan, bring to a boil and add the sugar and butter. Slowly heat, stirring all the while to dissolve the sugar then bring to a boil, cover and boil for 2 minutes.

Uncover and continue a steady boil, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the temperature, as measured by a confectioner's thermometer reaches 116°C (the soft ball stage).

Remove from the heat and stir-in the sour cherries then set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Beat the mixture well with a whisk until it just begins to lose its gloss and becomes thick. Then tip the mixture into a well-greased 18cm square tin. Mark into 50 squares with a knife when almost set. When firmly set cut along the score marks with a sharp knife and transfer to an air-tight container to store.
