1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons canned evaporated milk (5 fl oz), preferably organic

2 cups firmly packed Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Light Brown Sugar

1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, preferably organic

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cups Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Powdered Sugar

Bring milk, brown sugar, butter and salt just to a boil in a 3-quart hevy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened to soft-ball stage (238 degrees F on candy thermometer), about 30 minutes.

Transfer to a heat-proof bowl and beat in vanilla with an electric mixer at medium speed, then add powdered sugar a little at a time, beating until fudge is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes.

Spread evenly in an ungreased 8-inch square baking pan and chill, uncovered, until firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes.  Cut into squares with a sharp paring knife.

Notes from The Sugar Club:

3/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped, can be stirred into fudge before spreading in pan.

Fudge keeps, chilled in an airtight container, 5 days.
