    I tried it once a couple of years ago. It just wouldn't set. It tasted and smelled wonderful though.

    I have to admit it was my first attempt at fudge, or candy with a thermometor (sp??). I think I messed it up at that stage.

    Pumpkin Fudge
    Yields: 36 servings

    Using the same method as is used in making traditional fudge, pumpkin is substituted for chocolate in this seasonal recipe for a corn syrup based treat.

    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).
    4. 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.

    Pumpkin Fudge

    Prep: 10 min., Cook: 15 min., Stand: 2 hrs. Line pan with aluminum foil before you begin to cook the fudge. Once the candy thermometer reaches 234° and the remaining ingredients are added, quickly spoon the fudge into the pan.

    3 cups sugar
    3/4 cup melted butter
    2/3 cup evaporated milk
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    2 tablespoons corn syrup
    1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate morsels
    1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow crème
    1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Stir together first 6 ingredients in a 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer registers 234° (soft-ball stage) or for about 12 minutes.

    Remove pan from heat; stir in remaining ingredients until well blended. Pour into a greased aluminum foil-lined 9-inch square pan. Let stand 2 hours or until completely cool; cut fudge into squares.

    Yield: Makes about 3 pounds

    2 tbsp. pumpkin
    1/4 tsp. cornstarch
    1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

    Cook together sugar, pumpkin, cornstarch, spice and Carnation milk until it forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Add vanilla and cool. Beat until creamy. Pour into a buttered plate and cut into small squares when nearly cool.

Quickly pour into a buttered 8" square pan. When firm, cut into squares.
