Pumpkin Pie Fudge

This is some very ugly fudge but it tastes great and is easy to make What you need: 3 cups white sugar 1 cup milk 3 Tbs light corn syrup 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, I don't add these) Directions: Butter or grease an 8x8 inch pan. In a 3 quart sauce pan, mix together sugar, milk, corn syrup, pumpkin and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling. DO NOT STIR. When mixture registers at 232° on a candy thermometer, or forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water, remove from heat. Stir in pumpkin spice, vanilla, butter and nuts if you are using them. Cool to lukewarm (110°) then beat mixture until it is thick and loses some of it's gloss. Quickly pour into greased pan and cut when firm.
