Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
3
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Let the mixture cool slightly, until it reaches 115°F.
5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm.
6
Once the fudge is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and use the overhanging parchment paper to lift it out of the baking dish. Cut the fudge into small squares and serve chilled.
