2 Tbsp. corn syrup

Directions:


Line a 9x9 inch pan (a 9x13 inch pan will work but the fudge will be thinner) with aluminum foil. Grease or butter the foil. In a 3 1/2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar, butter, milk, pumpkin, corn syrup and spices over medium high heat. Stir constantly until the candy thermometer reaches 234° degrees. Remove from heat. Add the remaining ingredients and stir quickly until smooth. Quickly spoon the fudge into the pan. Let completely cool for at least 2 hours. Cut fudge into little squares.

Long Time No Post...

Hey Friends,

I'm sorry for the resent famine of posts. The number of grandchildren seems to have stabilized and if I can quit falling for eggs and milk the recipes should come more frequently now. Thanks for your understanding.

Happy Cooking!
