- It's Halloween, y'all.
0:03
Isn't this cute?
0:04
Was that out in the garage, Eddie?
0:06
- [Eddie] Yes.
0:07
- It's so cute.
0:08
He'd be so cute with a little plant coming out of him,
0:11
wouldn't it?
0:12
All right, you wanna tell 'em what we're doing next?
0:15
- We're making creamy peanut, no, pumpkin fudge.
0:21
- Yes.
0:22
Doesn't that sound delicious?
0:24
All right, now we've got a piece of parchment paper
0:26
that we have put in a 13 by nine by two pan
0:30
and we're gonna spray that so it won't stick to the paper.
0:33
It shouldn't without spraying but we gonna be safe safe.
0:39
All right, so this is one of those wonderful recipes
0:43
that's in Cooking with Paula Deen magazine and-
0:48
- By the way, they make great Christmas gifts.
0:50
- They do for-
0:51
- And it's October so go ahead and order.
0:53
- 16.99. - Yes.
0:55
- For a year subscription.
0:57
I mean, you can't find nothing for that price, can you?
1:02
All right, Sissy, we're gonna melt our butter
1:05
and we've got white sugar, brown sugar,
1:09
evaporated milk, nuts, white chocolate and vanilla
1:12
but this goes in last.
1:14
So when our butter melts some,
1:16
I'm gonna put in our two sugars, our evaporated milk,
1:19
our pumpkin pie spice, spice,
1:21
our cinnamon and our nutmeg and a half a cup of pumpkin.
1:26
- It should be interesting.
1:27
- Yeah and it's gonna be good and creamy
1:32
'cause we're cooking it like an old timey fudge.
1:35
All right, so enough is melted, Sissy.
1:38
I'm gonna pass those on to you.
1:41
I'm gonna add my sugars
1:45
and we're gonna cook this I think to like 240.
1:49
- It said.
1:51
- Is that right?
1:52
- What if you don't have a candy thermometer?
1:55
- You would just have to use the old timey way of-
1:58
- Boiling the water? - Uh huh.
2:00
- Soft boil. - No.
2:01
You just get you a cup of water.
2:04
Doesn't have to be hot.
2:06
- And drop the dab in there.
2:08
- Drip in there and if it forms a soft ball then it's ready
2:12
but that really is a lot guessing to me.
2:15
- My mother had it down pat.
2:17
- Did she? - Mhm.
2:20
- I had to do that before I had a candy thermometer.
2:25
- And another question, is it condensed?
2:27
I mean, evaporated milk you can whip to make cream.
2:31
- No. - No?
2:32
- No.
2:34
This kinda milk is so good
2:36
in like macaroni and cheese and candies.
2:39
- Okay.
2:43
- All right.
2:45
I'm gonna get this mixed up real good,
2:47
let that butter finish melting and let the sugars melt
2:53
and I'll stick in the thermometer.
3:00
- [Sissy] There it is. - Yes, I love these.
3:02
- [Sissy] Those are great.
3:04
- You have to have these for the mayonnaise jar.
3:06
- I put those in the Christmas stockings.
3:08
- Yes, yes.
3:11
The other day, I had some ladies over here
3:15
and here, let's keep this here.
3:18
I might need that.
3:20
And I can't remember what we were doing but they said,
3:24
"we just love your spatulas."
3:25
I said, oh you do?
3:27
Okay.
3:28
They love those half ones.
3:29
So I went in here and got every one of my half ones out
3:32
and gave it to 'em and Eddie said,
3:35
"Paula, you gave every one of 'em away"
3:38
so he had to grab some more
3:40
the next time we went to the store, right, Eddie?
3:43
- [Eddie] Yep.
3:44
- All right, everything is melted
3:45
and the the pumpkin is incorporated.
3:52
It's gonna be a pretty color fudge since we're using white.
3:55
- [Sissy] Looks like caramel.
3:56
- Uh huh.
3:58
It's gonna be so good.
4:00
So we're gonna cook this over medium heat and 240.
4:07
Sis just reminded me that that's a hard ball,
4:12
not a soft ball.
4:13
So I'm gonna go ahead and hook this on here
4:18
so we can keep a minute on it.
4:20
Y'all, I just found out that the candy thermometer
4:26
that I was using to cook this fudge with was not working.
4:30
It wouldn't go past 220.
4:31
So I pulled out another thermometer
4:34
and I mean, it was right on time 'cause it was at 240 so.
4:40
- And I just did our grandmothers'
4:42
and mothers' trick and guess what?
4:46
In cold water, there it is.
4:49
- Uh huh, that's a hard ball right there.
4:50
- That's your hard ball.
4:52
- I added the white chocolate, the nuts
4:58
and now I'm fixing to add the vanilla
5:03
and then we're gonna pour it up in our pan.
5:09
Might be a teaspoon, maybe not.
5:12
May be more.
5:13
Whoa. - Don't drop it.
5:16
That's like gold. - [Paula] 240, yeah.
5:18
240 is really- - [Sissy] High.
5:20
- [Paula] High to me.
5:26
All right, so we've got to stir this
5:27
until the chocolate morsels melt, Sissy.
5:33
I mean, it's some hard stuff.
5:36
- [Sissy] That means it's gonna be good.
5:38
- I would almost think we could
5:42
cut down on the temperature a little bit
5:45
'cause your arm's gonna get real tired.
5:49
Okay, baby cakes, is that good enough?
5:51
- I can't decide if it's the nuts
5:53
that are looking white or the-
5:54
- It's the nuts probably
5:55
and little pieces of the white chocolate morsels.
5:59
- Okay.
6:02
- Ooh, I just think this is gonna be something
6:04
that y'all just love.
6:05
- Why couldn't we put this on a cake?
6:08
- Nothing would stop you.
6:11
- That would make a good icing.
6:13
- It would make make a fabulous icing.
6:17
- Looks yummy.
6:20
- I know it. - On that apple cake.
6:23
- Yes.
6:25
- Pumpkin apple.
6:27
- Cooking is, oh, there's your bite.
6:28
I left you a bite.
6:30
Excuse me.
6:34
- Mm, doesn't really taste pumpkin pumpkin.
6:36
- I don't taste too much pumpkin
6:39
but sure does make it creamy.
6:42
- Mhm.
6:43
- All right, so in the pan we go.
6:46
Uh oh, would you hold my paper, Sis?
6:55
Oh my gosh, it's gonna be so good.
6:58
Isn't that pretty, pretty pretty?
7:00
You know what, I'm gonna just
7:01
put a little water right there.
7:04
Help me kinda swirl it.
7:06
It'll help me just kinda swirl it a little bit.
7:15
Beautiful.
7:18
Y'all wanna keep this in your recipe file
7:22
'cause it's very good.
7:23
I think y'all will love it.
7:25
We'll be back in a little while after it chills
7:28
and we'll taste it.
7:30
Little tasting.
7:32
Sissy, how about some fudge?
7:34
- [Sissy] Ooh, yummy.
7:35
- I think it's probably firm because it cooked-
7:39
- Oh yeah.
7:41
It's firm.
7:42
All right, let's see if it, oh, lifts out perfect.
7:46
Perfect.
7:47
Don't even have to wash that pan which is even better.
7:51
So I just want to thank somebody out there so very much.
7:57
- [Sissy] Yes.
7:58
- They sent me, I guess I was talking about
8:03
maybe I couldn't find my mama's candy at the moment.
8:05
I don't remember.
8:07
But the sweetest lady sent me this.
8:11
It is identical to my mother's.
8:13
- Mhm, still in the box.
8:15
- And yes, still in the box.
8:18
And look, y'all, my mama's handle was blue.
8:22
Still got all the papers and I'm so sorry.
8:30
I was kind of working alone when this came into the picture
8:34
so I hope that I thanked you and I hope you're still with us
8:40
because I want you to know how very, very thoughtful
8:45
and how much I appreciated it, dear.
8:49
Works like a champ.
8:50
I started out using a newer one and realized it wasn't-
8:56
- It wasn't giving the right temperature.
8:58
- It wasn't moving and so I pulled this one out
9:01
and it worked perfect just like it was.
9:05
Well, they just made stuff back then better.
9:08
- Might be old but what's the saying?
9:10
Old but so.
9:13
So enough good.
9:14
- [Paula] Uh huh, it's wonderful and I thank you so much.
9:18
- [Sissy] We might need to take this down to the candy man.
9:22
- We gonna keep this here for usins and our little children.
