How to Make Aunt Ira's Peanut Butter Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  2. Continue to boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer. Be careful, as the mixture will be hot!
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper (this makes for easy removal).
  5. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. For faster cooling, you can place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
