Topic: Pumpkin Fudge? | |
---|---|
I didn't know you could make fudge out of pumpkins. It tasted pretty good. I thought you had to have chocolate to make fudge. As far as I can guess you just use pumpkin instead of chocolate.

I think I am becoming a human guinea pig at work. One of the ladies will bring something in and I will be if I have ever tried anything like what they make but some of it tastes pretty good.

Here's the recipe I use, and it's YUMMY
3 cups white sugar 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons light corn syrup 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional) DIRECTIONS Butter or grease one 8x8 inch pan. In a 3 quart saucepan, mix together sugar, milk, corn syrup, pumpkin and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling. Do not stir. When mixture registers 232 degrees F (110 degrees C) on candy thermometer, or forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water, remove pan from heat. Stir in pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, butter and nuts. Cool to lukewarm (110 degrees F or 43 degrees C on candy thermometer). Beat mixture until it is very thick and loses some of its gloss. Quickly pour into a greased eight-inch pan. When firm cut into 36 squares. |
