I had one years back from a county fair recipe book, and now I can't find the book, someone borrowed it and never brought it back . So PLEASE if anyone has a tried and true recipe, will you share, pretty please

Teresa,
I have a tried and true Pumpkin Fudge Recipe:) I plan on making some this week :)
Pumpkin Fudge
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 5-1/3-ounce can evaporated milk (2/3 cup)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
*1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
*1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
*1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 12-ounce package (2 cups) butterscotch-flavored pieces
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow crème
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Butter a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside.
2. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
3. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat. Boil over medium-low heat until mixture registers 234 º. (Soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, stirring constantly (about 25 minutes).
4. Remove from heat and stir in butterscotch pieces until melted. Add marshmallow crème, nuts and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
5. Pour mixture into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Cool at room temperature. Cut into squares. Wrap tightly and store in refrigerator. Makes 3-1/4 pounds.
Don’t forget to adjust for altitude! For every 1000 feet above sea level subtract 2 degrees.
*I used 1 teaspoon of baking spice instead.
Baking Spice
6 Tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 Tablespoon ground allspice
1 Tablespoon dried orange peel
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1)Combine all ingredients together. I have a coffee grinder just for spices so this is what I used.
2)Store in an airtight container.
3)Use this mix in recipes that call for the ingredients above.
4)If a recipe calls for the above spices, add up all of the measurements and use the same amount in your recipe.
Yield: 1/2 cup

Sharon, Thank you, thank you, thank you so very much. You are a life saver, my family has been begging for it, and I couldn't give it to them.
Sheila, I was always able to freeze my lost recipe, so I would think this would freeze well also. I would cool, cut and place on waxed paper in the freezer til froze, and then put in vacume sealer bags.

Robin,
I have never frozen it. Teresa says that her recipe froze well. She tells what she does a couple posts above :) I think I will try freezing some this year too!

Sharon, just wanted to thank you again, I made a triple batch, so I could freeze at least alittle of it before it was all gone, lol. My family and a few neighbors all said " Thank You", it was wonderful.

This sounds so good! Any idea what could be substituted for the marshmallow? My daughter is vegetarian and will not eat marshmallow but loves pumpkin.

| I think the gelatin is made from animal products. Are there veggies marshmallows? Those can be subbed. |

I just checked my jar of Marshmallow Creme and it does NOT have gelatin in it. If you were to use marshmallows then it would contain gelatin :)
