It takes a really long time and without a candy thermometer, I think you are going to have a difficult time knowing exactly when it's done....candy is so tricky that way....sorry I couldn't be of more help.

i am also sorry to say that you definatly need a candy thermometer.. just a couple degrees high or low can ruin the recipe. i am sure your fondant turned out wonderful tho thumbs_up.gif
