I got invited to a pumpkin party and so I was looking for the perfect pumpkin recipe to make for it. I decided I felt like making a pumpkin fudge. Yet again, epicurious came to the rescue with a recipe. It came out great. I read some of the reviews and some were quite funny saying it was too sweet and that sort of thing (er dur, its fudge mate, I think you'd expect super sweet!). Its a lovely orange color, very pretty and autumnal.
I mixed up the pumpkin puree, sugar, syrup and milk, then got it bubbling away. The mixture is brought up to a temperature of 258, then it is taken off the heat, butter and pumpkin pie spice added, and I had to wait an eternity for it to cool down to 140 so I could beat it. An addition of walnuts and vanilla, then I started at it with a wooden spoon. It was dumped into a square pan and allowed to cool and it was just perfect.
Please check on epicurious to see the recipe. My additions were an extra 1/2 cup of heavy cream as I'd used fat free milk, and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.

Jenny,
I'm a real lover of chocolate fudge, but the truth must be told, I love almost any flavor of fudge. :-) Pumpkin pie is another favorite of mine, but I never thought of pumpkin fudge. I'm really interested in trying this recipe. I'm really supposed to be dieting, but I swear I'm tempted to go and give this a try tonight! I'll try to have a little self control and save it for a special occasion.
I'd like to invite you to visit my site and offer up any recipes or tips you have that seem appropriate. There's a special page dedicated to my visitor's favorites.
Hope to see you there sometime. Thanks again for sharing this delicious idea for pumpkin fudge.

Ok, this is just not fair. That fudge looks amazing. Is it all gone? Can you give some to D.J.? :)
Pumpkin fudge?
Well that solves next year's pumpkin dilemma.
Thanks for that!
