Ingredients

  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Butter or grease one 8x8 inch pan.
In a 3-qt saucepan, mix together sugar, milk, corn syrup, pumpkin and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling. Do not stir.
When mixture registers 232 degrees F on candy thermometer, or forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water, remove pan from heat. Stir in pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, butter and nuts. Cool to lukewarm (110 degrees F candy thermometer).
Beat mixture until it is very thick and loses some of its gloss. Quickly pour into a greased 8" pan. When firm cut into 36 squares.
