Pumpkin and Goat's Milk Fudge ~ Sunny Day for Dog Play



I'll have to make these again, I realized I should have double checked and tested my thermometer.  I am still using a candy thermometer I've had for over 12 years.  It's an acurite thermometer by Chaney Instruments.  I really need to invest in a better candy thermometer.

I later tested my thermometer (sigh).  It read 195°F at boiling point.  That means I should have taken my fudge off the heat at  219°F instead of 236°F.  Quite a difference.

I just had a brain lapse.  My word!  My mother gave me a nice stainless steel candy thermometer made by Taylor (Smacking myself in the head!)  Sheesh, I definitely have to make this fudge again.

What a tasty treat to make.  I did not have an 8 x 8 inch pan so these came out a bit thin.

    I see you have blue and white Willow China! This is my favorite pattern and I have been fortunate enough to add some antique pieces to my collection over the years. I was also able to find a book about the beautiful Chinese legend behind the Willow dishes.

    I found my smaller plate for sale at a Goodwill store. I think I paid about $.50 a plate. I was a rare find.
