Penucci--Brown Sugar Fudge image

This is an old-fashioned brown-sugar fudge that my mother made every Christmas. It was only one of her famous "Christmas Candies," but it was my favorite. It's not a shortcut, easy-does-it recipe, but it's worth the effort.

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cup(s) sugar
1 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
12 ounce(s) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon(s) corn syrup, light
1 tablespoon(s) vanilla extract
6 tablespoon(s) butter (or margarine)
1 cup(s) pecans, chopped (or nut of choice)

Steps:

  • Combine milk, sugars, and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan. Cook slowly to a soft ball stage (or use a candy thermometer.)
  • Remove from the heat. Add butter and beat until it begins to thicken. (I usually let it cool awhile AFTER I add the butter before I begin to beat it. Otherwise, you're just making your arm tired for nothing.)
  • Add vanilla. Continue beating until almost set. Add nuts.
  • Pour into greased pan and refrigerate until hard. Cut into squares.
