Peanut butter ball & This recipe I have taught 7- 10-year-olds with very good results. However - We sub- the peanuts in the fudge for Walnuts / black walnuts or pecans - Since they grow here in the southern United States - It's not as expensive as it can be for store-bought nuts. Once you show them what they are looking for They remember the steps really well. We usually make it here in the fall because it's usually made for friends & loved ones & gifts of appreciation around Thanksgiving & Christmas time. The Hot sugar does really Really well when the ambient room temp is much cooler. 55 F / 12 C. Like you have discovered - Many times - Cooking is a great deal of experience - touch - sight - feel.. Not necessarily Culinary skills as familiarity with ingredients - or basics.. That's why I love the term { your term } "Riffing-It".. Really should Be a Tee - shirt.

Soft ball stage: when you drizzle a little off the spoon into cold water, and you can form it into a soft ball with your fingers. With practice, you can judge when it's ready by the firmness of the ball. That's the rule I learned for making my grandmother's fudge. Thermometers, bah. :)

Yes exactly.

Don’t feel bad about struggling with penuche. I remember it as being the specialty of one or two of my aunts of that generation, and nobody else ever made it, because it was so touchy. By the way, in Iowa and Minnesota, at least, we pronounced it “pa-noo-chee”

[@sandraomar3007]

My Nana's recipe uses I tablespoon corn syrup and evaportated milk with double the brown sugar and butter amount. The corn syrup helps to firm up the fudge.

[@adelechicken6356]

The corn syrup also helps prevent crystals from forming, which I learned from Alton Brown.

Thank you Glen and Julie! Food Network could learn a lot from you. You make cooking creative and adventurous and not a competitive sport. You cook real food with ingredients I can actually find. I really appreciate all the research you do. Shout out from Peterborough.

I just found this channel today, and you're right, it's great. I remember a long time ago, most of Food Network had programming similar to what this channel is. Very few gimmicks nor mugging for the camera. Just straightforward educational shows. So sad that that type of programming has largely been abandoned. Luckily there are still KZbin channels like this to fill the void. (Although, even on KZbin, it's not a guarantee to find down-to-earth content like this.)

I am so glad I watched this video. I had been trying for 30 years to make my grandma’s fudge recipe before I was finally successful. It’s kind of similar to this and it makes me feel a bit better to know that even Glen has run in to some of the same pitfalls I’ve experienced. I especially loved when Jules said “don’t check your phone” because I once did that very thing and the fudge immediately set around the spoon in my hand. 😂 It turns out phones and fudge do not mix.

I have a tested recipe that brings it to 237-239F, let it cool down to 212F WITHOUT STIRRING to ''seed'' the cristalisation process and then stir vigorously to cristalise the batch , mold, cool .... You can do it with only white sugar, brown or half/half according to your taste. Works every time

Both sets of my grandparents were in their 20's-30's during the Depression in northeast Mississippi. Living on a farm in north Mississippi pretty much makes you ready for hard times because you were already there. :) It was more or less business as usual for them. They already raised their own food and fished and hunted for the meat they didn't raise. My grandmother said they actually had it easier than other people because they had a ready market for their products versus people living in the cities buying their food instead of raising it.

[@terryhamilton3516]

My FAVORITE winter candy: must stir after it cools. Put butter & vanilla in after you remove from the heat, then stir when butter has melted, also add nuts after it starts to thicken... just like chocolate fudge. Mom said don’t make when it’s raining & don’t stir while it’s cooking.

[@pamelacain5490]

My daddy made chocolate fudge - similar recipe- He actually tested the drop in the cold water and didn’t remove from the heat until it formed a soft but firm ball Then he added the butter and vanilla by NO STIRRING (not even disturbing it) until the butter was melted in a puddle on the top.then we added not (pecans usually) and whipped fast just til blended and poured up while still liquid enough to almost level out. It was so good and we never let it cool completely. But I do remember (Mississippi weather) some days you couldn’t make it because the humidity wouldn’t let it set.

[@riograndedosulball248]

@@debbiem2146 you are welcome! I don't know the exact measures of the ingredients, i usually cook it by my memory, but here we go: Take about half a kilo of peanuts, which can be toasted or not, and put them with... 150 to 200 grams of white sugar, and tree or four big spoons of water (likely, whatever it takes to make the sugar become slightly humid). then, put everything in a pan. Cook it in medium to low fire, until the misture starts taking the colour of caramel, and then add a can of condensed milk. Keep cooking until it gets very thick, to the point of sticking, and then let it cool. It's a simple recipe and i love the result, i absolutely recommend!

Softball stage in my world is when you take a clear glass with 4" or so of room temp water and drop a bit of your fudge or whatever you're cooking and see if the drop is soft medium or hard after it hits the water. We never used a thermometer when I was a kid.

[@julilla1]

I first read this title as if it was Spanish and I thought "Glen is getting saucy!" Nope, it's Italian, I guess and it looks delicious! I've never seen a recipe like this, so thank you for showing us.

[@hworth]

Penuche was a family favorite of ours when I was a child, and I have continued to make it regularly during the holidays. I think the idea of letting it cool before mixing was not the issue with the first patch. It just had not reached soft ball stage. I continue to used the namesake method for testing soft ball stage, because I don't think thermometer is the best judge. I just drop a bit of the mixture into a glass of cold water until it forms a soft ball before it hits the bottom of the glass. Also, I have never put peanuts in my penuche. Usually, we made it just plain, sometimes with pecans.

[@craftsbyblee7617]

My Polish mother pronounces this Pin-o-chee. This is my favorite Christmas fudge and I can't make it like my mom. She gets it to the soft ball stage (drop a little in water and form a ball). Next, she has a sink half full of ice water. She immediately takes the hot pan into the cold water and whips and whips and whips. When my arm is almost out of it's socket, it's time to dump it into a pan and cool thoroughly in the fridge. Two hours later we find out if we have fudge or ice cream topping. Either way.... My all time favorite candy !!

[@lpshy9337]

Golden thank you as always you do an amazing job.

[@tracegates8841]

I use the cold water method to test soft ball stage by dropping a small amount into cold water & form the candy into a ball. The consistency of the candy under the cold water is usually what the finished product will be. Soft ball stage would feel something like a slightly malleable caramel candy. Even when using a thermometer, I like to check using cold water also. The cold water method can be used to make candy if you do not have a thermometer, too.

[@evahamrick3282]

Penuche fudge reminds me of Christmas. Those 3 pound boxes of chocolate candy. On the top of the box there was a diagram of the candies in the box and there was a chocolate covered penuche fudge. Creamy and no nuts, dense. Yes, they still make it.

I think even the most down-to-earth recipe book can be aspirational if you're not a very frequent cook. I know there are plenty of my household cookbooks that are here because it's just nice to browse through them, when I might only make one recipe in every third book. If anything, the two recipes from my books that get the most use are chicken soup (chicken, leek, potato, creamed corn, chicken stock), and banana cake, which is good for bananas that are getting over-ripe, though I have trouble being able to get over-ripe bananas because my brother eats them before they reach the "OMG!

[@SaraH-uu9et]

So your recipe for panocha (penuche) fudge was very different from what my family has made for over 80+ years. So I guess this would fall under the old cook book series. One of the first things I noticed, was how it was made. We have always made panocha the same way as cooked fudge; not fudge made w/marshmallow 😒. When you put the ingredients in the pan, the butter was not in until after. We start, by melting said butter in the pan, then adding, brown sugar, cream,(but we always used evaporated milk, nuts & vanilla. Which the last 2 ingredients were added last, after the panocha had been cooked to a softball stage. We always did this test w/a spoon and water in a dish. when you could roll a ball between your fingers & it stayed in a ball form it was done. Add vanilla, Then it was beat w/ a mixer or by hand until it lost its sheen then nuts were added. Placed in greased pan to cool. Tip: when cooking candies such as fudge & panocha, it turns out best when the barometric pressure is higher and the weather is clear, stormy days seem to produce more sugared candies. Wives tale or not, I found it to follow this principle. You can also do a panocha cooked frosting w/powdered sugar. It's killer on homeade carrot cake. (Not box😒)

[@kevinolive]

Growing up, my mom and dad always made candy at Christmas. Panocha was one of them although the recipe called in Panocha, we didn’t know how to pronounce it and called it brown sugar fudge. While mom and dad seemed to have good luck making it, of the times that I have tried, I’ve probably had as many failures as successes. This video helps explain how to do this a bit more. Old recipes really were more like notes rather than directions-relying on the cook to know the method.

[@minahraven]

If you're ever looking for 'central' (not sure if you'd class it as central or not) Canadian cookbooks along the lines of this one, but a bit more modern, if you can get your hands on the 'Rose Valley Cookbook' from Rose Valley, Saskatchewan, it's very much like this in that the town residents all submitted old family recipes. Since many of the town's families are/ were of European descent, there are a lot of traditional recipes for things such as perogies and varenyky and squares etc, definitely an insight into the family histories of the residents.

[@evahamrick3282]

There is a boxed candy I get at Christmas that has chocolate covered penuche fudge, no nuts. I look for it this Christmas. One of my favorites. Oh, and practice makes perfect... in this case fudge.

Hey Glen, there is a very popular Brazilian candy called "Pé de Moleque" (boy foot) which is the exact same recipe but removing the milk/cream. These days we have all kind of variations but this one is the traditional. You should try but don't let it cool inside the pan 👀

His parents moved to a farm in 1922 in Port Dover. I learned a lot about history from him. You just need to put on a Jeanette McDonald record while you're making it :)

This is the brown sugar fudge that was made regularly in every home in this part of Canada in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. My mother sometimes added cocoa powder. At our place there was never nuts added as my Dad didn’t like the nuts (me either). It was made using evaporated milk. I don’t recall ever waiting for it to cool before beating in quite a bit of butter (not marg) and vanilla. The texture of ours is less like the caramel that yours appears to be and is more like a creamy fudge. It was just poured into a buttered pan. Was yours chewy?

[@alicecarroll2007]

Looks so good! Did you remember to add the vanilla when it cooled down? I missed that.

[@tjs114]

I have a version of this recipe from my great Aunt, which according to her notes on the recipe card, copied it from the Ottumwa Daily Courier (Iowa) in December 1936. It is written for someone without a candy thermometer, and says to "heat milk and sugar until it forms a loose, shaggy ball." Then "allow to cool until body temperature." Before "Adding vanilla, a pinch of salt and a pinch of soda" before stirring in nuts. She wrote at the bottom "If heated ball becomes smooth, makes brittle."

[@nellgwenn]

If it was more fudgy and less brittle-y I'd make it. I love fudge but not a huge fan of brittle. Here's a trick. I made my mom some sea salt caramels topped off with cherrywood smoked sea salt. My mom froze some and when Thanksgiving came along she used some of them in yams. She baked the yams, then mashed them with some butter, added the caramels, then put them in the oven. They are hauntingly delicious. I don't want yams cooked any other way. When you consider all the flavors sea salted caramels give you, especially with the bonus of the cherrywood smoked salt, it's all the extra flavor you need. And the yams are not sickening sweet either. They have a rich complex Earthy flavor. If you ever make sea salted caramels give the yam idea a try. Something to note. You want to make them so they are soft and chewy, so definitely soft ball stage.

[@Judyluvs]

Perhaps make a caramel sauce with your sea salt

Having said that, Wednesday, April 1st, 2020, are you planning on doing an episode where every single cut you make in the video you have different shirts/pants/apron? Or even you have a wide shot where you're going into a bowl with a rubber/silicone scraper spatula and then on the close up shot it's a solid wood spoon? Of course you wouldn't mention it at all through the entire video. As for the recipe, looks good. There's one thing my dad used to make that I never got the recipe for and it was a peanut butter fudge. On the plus side I've seen peanut butter fudge in stores the past few years that take me back to my childhood but they are a bit denser than what I remember from the late 80's early 90's.

I’m American. I didn’t realize that Canada suffered from the depression too. Our economies are largely linked so I shouldn’t be surprised. Often, people in rural areas suffered less than those in cities. They had gardens and chickens and still ate well. During the depression, my maiden great-aunt lived near railroad tracks in the outskirts of Philadelphia. Hobos would come to her door asking to do odd jobs in exchange for a hot meal. She was a fantastic cook! So without a man around the house she often had them do odd jobs for her, and she fed them a wonderful meal. Her house was kept in good shape by the hobos. She said that they knew that she would feed them in exchange for work because they marked something on the fence post. I looked it up, and found that the markings are called hobo hieroglyphics. One of them means that a kind woman lives at the house. Tell a pitiful story. I think that must have been on her fence post.
