Eggnog Fudge




Source of Recipe


Christmas with Southern Living, 2005


Recipe Introduction



Christmas isn't complete without a dose of eggnog. Try your favorite holiday drink in a candy recipe. Eggnog fudge incorporates the rich flavor of eggnog in an already classic holiday dessert recipe.


Use up leftover eggnog with this nutty fudge recipe that also calls for chopped red candied cherries, chopped pecans, and chopped almonds.


List of Ingredients




2 cups sugar
1 cup refrigerated eggnog
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped red candied cherries
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe



Line an 8"X4" loaf pan with aluminum foil; butter foil, and set aside.

Combine first 4 ingredients in a 4-quart heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Wash down crystals from sides of pan, using a pastry brush dipped in hot water. Insert a candy thermometer into eggnog mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thermometer registers 238°. Remove from heat and cool, undisturbed, until temperature drops to 190° (15 to 18 minutes).

Stir in pecans and remaining 3 ingredients; beat with a wooden spoon until fudge thickens and just begins to lose its gloss (5 to 8 minutes). Pour candy into prepared pan. Cool completely; cut into squares.
