When I saw the photo of the fudge, it made me think of a brown sugar version with pecans from my childhood that my family knew as Penuche (although we pronounced it "penoche" with a long 'o'). As much as I love the deep chocolatey kind, I loved the creaminess of penuche.
When my oldest sister, the champion cook in our family, visited a few years ago, we found a recipe that sounded right in Fanny Farmer and made a batch together. Now I'm thinking I may have a go at making a batch this winter to share with friends for the holidays.
I've learned something new! Penuche (or even better, penoooche;), who knew? Thanks for the note, I know I'll be making fudge as gifts this winter too. x
Loved this :^)

Thank you for the memories.

Lindsay, as always your words transport me. I adored listening to the podcast the other day, in the car, as the rain beat against the windscreen. X
