Real Saltwater Taffy

List of Ingredients




If you do not have an ocean handy, just
use tap water with a teaspoon of salt dissolved in it.

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup salt water (or fresh water with 1 tsp. salt)
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. sweet butter
2 tbsp. vanilla
3 to 4 drops red coloring

Directions

Mix all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over
medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture reaches 260 degrees
on a candy thermometer, or until a bit of the mixture dropped into
iced water forms into a hard ball.

Remove from the heat. Pour into a buttered 8-by-8-by-2-inch
square pan.

Allow to cool slightly, and then pull taffy until shiny, stiff and light in
color. If the taffy begins to get too sticky, butter hands lightly.

Pull into long strips about 1/2-inch wide. Using scissors, cut into
1-inch pieces and wrap them individually in waxed paper.

Keep in an airtight container. Makes about 1 pound.
