Spiced Pumpkin Fudge

Here is the recipe from the Nestle Very Best Baking website. The only difference is I omit the nuts and grease my foil. I found that the timing to get to soft-ball stage was the full 12 minutes and maybe even a few extra depending on your pot/stove.

Let stand on wire rack for 2 hours or until completely cooled. Refrigerate tightly covered. To cut, lift from pan; remove foil. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Makes about 3 pounds.
