How to Make Pumpkin Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (236°F on a candy thermometer). This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted margarine, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Let the mixture cool slightly, until it begins to thicken (about 20-30 minutes). Then, beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the fudge is thick, loses its gloss, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  5. Pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish. Let cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
