A twist on chocolate fudge that uses everyone's favorite Thanksgiving vegetable, pumpkin! Ingredients:
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:
1. Butter or grease one 8x8 inch pan.
2. 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.
3. 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).
