Just made pumpkin fudge for the first time and this was awesome! The taste is amazing! And it was quite easy. -
I made this fudge today....took me quite a while 2 work up the courage as soft boil'/ hard boil is always scary to judge! Firstly, i doubled the recipe and was glad as it still barely covered the pan...and upon whipping it was already too firm to pour so i had to scoop it and press into the pan...i then chucked it into the oven to melt a bit and reform one mass as it was a bit piecey. ...Anyway, i used cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg as i didn't have pumpkin spice and it was ....FANTASTIC! It has THE most delicious flavour and creamy texture i had 2 resist eating it all in one go and had so much fun licking the bowl and beaters!!! Can't wait to try it with different flavours and extra 'bits' chucked in...i think it may just overtake meringue and jams as my specialty!!!! Thankyou sooo much!! xoxo
