simple orange cranberry pistachio fudge
When I told my husband that I was working on this Simple Orange Cranberry Pistachio Fudge recipe all I heard from him was belly aching about how he hates fudge.
On and on about how horrible fudge is and why do I have to put stuff inside of stuff and why do I have to make fudge in the first place….
Paul likes to tease me a lot but he was dead serious about his disdain for fudge.
You can image how surprised I was this morning when he asked to try a piece of this Simple Orange Cranberry Pistachio Fudge. Guess what?
He loved it and has been munching on it all day.
To be honest with you it didn’t surprise me that he loved this candy 1) because we have been down this road of him swearing his hatred for certain foods and then falling in love with it when he has my version more times than I can count, 2) I worked really hard on this recipe and 3) it really is delicious.
This Simple Orange Cranberry Pistachio Fudge is not as sweet as most fudge and has a beautiful fresh citrus flavor with chewy cranberries and nutty pistachios. A true Christmas delight!
