MACKINAC ISLAND BUTTER PECAN FUDGE



Mackinac Island Butter Pecan Fudge image

One of my favorite places to visit every summer is Mackinac Island. Two of my favorite things to do while on the island is ride my bike around the perimeter of the island and then walk through town going in and out of all of the fudge shops looking for free samples. I'm so happy I found this recipe so I can make my own fudge between visits up north. I bought this recipe booklet called Mackinac Fudge Recipes for my cookbook swap partner. I hope she doesn't mind me posting a few of the recipes here on Zaar.

DOROTHY'S BUTTER PECAN FUDGE



Dorothy's Butter Pecan Fudge image

Summary: Spectacularly easy Butter Pecan Fudge, buttery and sweet, with toasty pecan flavor and irresistible charm.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (I used Kerrygold brand)
1/2 cup organic heavy cream (or cream)
1 cup packed light brown sugar (I used dark brown sugar this time)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used Heilala vanilla extract)
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Mist an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, or better yet, grease it using the inside of the butter wrapper.
  • In a large saucepan, bring the butter, cream, sugar and salt to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring frequently, and then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Stir in pecans, vanilla and confectioners' sugar and stir until smooth and well combined. This may take a minute, and will give your arm a workout!
  • Spread the mixture into prepared baking dish (a small offset spatula is helpful in this task). Cool to room temperature and then cut into little squares (7 rows vertically and 7 rows horizontally). Mixture will be somewhat crumbly, so cut using a very sharp knife, and avoid using "sawing" motions.
  • Serve on a pretty platter, or store in an airtight container until ready to serve. Can be frozen with waxed paper between layers.
  • Makes 49 pieces.
