Fudge

2 cupfuls sugar
1/2 cupful water or milk
1/2 cupful corn sirup
2 ounces chocolate
2 tablespoonfuls butter
1 teaspoonful vanilla
1/4 teaspoonful salt

Mix the sugar with the liquid. Add the chocolate and sirup. Boil gently to a "soft
ball" stage. Just before removing from the fire, add the butter. (The butter may
be omitted.)
Cool, then beat the mixture until it thickens. Add the vanilla and salt and pour
into a buttered pan. Cut into squares; when cool the fudge is ready for serving.
