Re: T & T Pumpkin Fudge
I know this is a little late but I make lots & lots (grin ) of pumpkin, peanut butter and peppermint fudge every year from about Oct-Jan.
because I give it to so many people from my mail-man, paper girl, friends and everyone in between. I make mine in the microwave because I have problems with my hands and right wrist and cannot stand and continually stir something so I figured out another way to do it.
If you are interested in the recipes, just let me know. I also make fig preserves and apple butter in my large crock pot and they both turn out beautifully. I will be more than glad to share my recipes with you.......I love this website and the friendly people who post on it.[font="Comic Sans MS"][

Re: T & T Pumpkin Fudge
Microwave Pumpkin Fudge c = cup t = teaspoon
1 ½ c. granulated sugar
1 ½ c. packed light brown sugar
¾ c. ( 1 ½ sticks ) unsalted butter, cut into small slices
2/3 c. evaporated milk ( store brand )
2/3 c. canned pumpkin (store brand , but not pumpkin pie filling ! )
1 t. ground cinnamon
½ t. ground ginger
¼ t. nutmeg
1/8 t. cloves
1/8 t. allspice
2 c. vanilla flavored baking chips (12 ounce package)
1 jar ( 7 oz. ) marshmallow cream ( store brand )
1 ½ t. vanilla extract ( I use pure vanilla but use whatever you have )
Line a 13x9” pan length-wise with foil, leaving some foil hanging off both ends to use to lift cooled candy out of pan. ( I never did this until last year and it helps so much that now I wouldn’t do it any other way! )You can butter/spray the foil; I just peel it off after I take cooled candy from pan. It’s up to you.
Put the white sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, pumpkin, and spices in a 2 qt.
Pyrex measuring bowl. ( be sure to butter inside rim down about 2” to keep hot mixture from boiling over. ) Stir to combine.
Put in microwave and bring the mixture to a boil, 6-8 min. or so. Carefully remove from microwave and stir .
Put back in microwave and bring to a boil again, set timer after it starts boiling again and boil continually for 11 minutes. ( no stirring this time ! )
Remove from microwave and add baking chips and marshmallow cream and stir vigorously until chips are mostly melted, 1-1 ½ min. ( Be very careful to not get it on you; use long handled spoon! )
Quickly stir in vanilla extract and put into the prepared pan ; mixture will start setting up very quickly. If desired, spray a wide spatula and use it to press candy into corners of pan.. Score while hot.
Let mixture cool on wire rack . Cut while still warm; finish cooling.
Yield will depend on how large you cut the squares.
* you can do all of your candy recipes that call for a set cooking time like this.
Enjoy![font="Comic Sans MS"][
