Week 6 , it feels like fall, the smell of pumpkin is in the air and our Blue Raiders are on a bye as Homecoming week begins! So, how about some comfort food, a blanket for the cooler weather and get ready for the Hilltoppers next weekend!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 tsp. butterscotch extract
- 1/2 cup butter
Notes
This recipe is very simple, but can be time-consuming. It is well worth it to wait for the fudge to come up to temperature and cool down. Also, refrain from making this on a rainy day…it tends to fail with too much moisture in the air.
Directions
Grease an 8×8 pan and set aside. In a saucepan over high heat, combine the sugar, milk, corn syrup, pumpkin puree and salt. Stir continually until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling. At this point, do not stir. When the mixture comes to 232 degrees F (110 C) on candy thermometer, or forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water, remove from heat. Add Pumpkin Pie Spice, butterscotch extract and butter, but do not stir them in. Let cool to 110 degrees F (43 C). Beat mixture until thick and it loses some of its gloss. Quickly pour into pan and let set. Cut when firm.
Serving Suggestions
