How to Make Old Fashioned Persimmon Fudge

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups of persimmon pulp, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
  2. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula, until the mixture reaches 230°F (110°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 20-30 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring!
  3. Carefully remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool to lukewarm (approximately 100-110°F).
  4. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter to the mixture and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Once the mixture begins to thicken, stir in 1 cup of your favorite chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or a mix!).
  6. Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely set and firm. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
