Ingredients

2 cups low-fat buttermilk

4 cups sugar

4 tablespoons butter, cut into 4 pieces

1-1/2 cups walnuts or pecans, chopped

Directions

Line an 8 inch square pan baking pan with foil, leaving some excess over the sides. (You’ll pull the fudge out with the excess later.) Grease the foil.

Combine the sugar and buttermilk in a medium or large heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. (Be careful - buttermilk boils over in a hurry!)

Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage on a candy thermometer, 234-240 degrees. This will take 35-40 minutes. At this point, the mixture will be milky, yet translucent. And very, very hot.

Off the heat, add the butter, mixing with a wooden spoon until the candy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in the nuts until the mixture becomes difficult to stir, 3 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and cool for at least 2 hours

Remove and cut into 1-inch squares.

The candy will store for 2 weeks.
