INSTRUCTIONS
In a 4-quart heavy saucepan combine the sugar, the milk, the corn syrup,
the pumpkin puree, and a pinch of salt, cook the mixture over moderate
heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, and cook it, undisturbed,
until a candy thermometer registers 238F. Remove the pan from the heat, add
the butter (do not stir it into the mixture), and let the mixture cool
until it is 140F. Stir in the vanilla and the walnuts, beat the mixture
with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it begins to lose
its gloss, and pour it immediately into a buttered 9-inch-square pan. Let
the fudge cool until it begins to harden, cut it into squares, and let it
cool completely. The fudge keeps, stored between sheets of wax paper in an
airtight container, in a cool place for 2 weeks.
Makes about 2 pounds.
