Peanut Butter Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 can evaporated milk
4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 small (18 oz.) jar of smooth peanut butter

Preparation

In heavy pot, mix sugar into evaporated milk.
Once this is done, start cooking the mixture on medium heat, while stirring almost constantly.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook to a soft ball stage.
If you have a candy thermometer, you can use it to denote when the mixture gets to this stage.
If you don't have one, you can test a drop of the mixture in a small amount of ice water placed into a small bowl.
Continue to test the mixture at one to two minute intervals until you can
form a soft ball with the mixture when rolled into a ball in the ice water by hand.
