Vanilla Goat Milk Fudge

I got this recipe from a book called "Goats Produce Too!". Since we raise and milk goats, and my DS brother can't handle cow dairy, goat milk is what we use for everything. But, you may be able to use regular store-bought cow milk, I don't know, just experiment. The recipe said to beat it by hand, but I beat it with an electric mixer. I used a 9x12 pan instead of an 8x8, because it's a lot of fudge.

Vanilla Goat Milk Fudge

3 c sugar

1/2 c light corn syrup

1 1/2 c goat milk

1/2 c butter or margarine

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and milk in a large saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and boil gently until it reaches the soft ball stage. Stir often to keep it from sticking. When ready remove from heat. Add vanilla, butter, and nuts if desired. Beat by hand until thick. Pour into buttered 8 x 8 inch pan. Cool and cut.
