Pumpkin Fudge?

One of my daughters likes most anything to do with pumpkin. She even asked for pumpkin pie for one birthday 'cake' when she was little. I ran across this recipe and figure I should try it out for her. It looks interesting and, possibly, tasty but know in my heart it will never replace a chunk of chocolate walnut fudge.

Pumpkin Fudge

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
½ cup pureed cooked pumpkin
½ cup evaporated milk
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ cup butter
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
¼ teaspoon cornstarch

Directions:
1. Combine sugar, pumpkin, milk, and spice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until it forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water, or until reaches 236°F. Remove from heat

2. Add the nuts, butter, and vanilla; beat until mixture is creamy.

3. Pour into a buttered plate and allow to cool. Cut into small chunks and serve.
