    SALT WATER TAFFY


    Source of Recipe


    ???

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup sugar
    3/4 cup light corn syrup
    2/3 cup water
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    2 tablespoons butter or margarine
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons vanilla

    Recipe



    Butter square pan, 8xSx2 inches.
    In 2-quart saucepan, combine
    sugar, corn
    syrup, water, cornstarch, butter
    and salt. Cook over medium heat,
    stirring
    constantly, to 256 degrees on
    candy thermometer (or until small
    amount of
    mixture dropped into very cold
    water forms a hard ball). Remove
    from heat;
    stir in vanilla. Pour into pan.

    When just cool enough to handle,
    pull taffy until satiny, light in
    color and
    stiff. If taffy becomes sticky, butter
    hands lightly. Pull into long strips,
    1/2 inch wide. With scissors, cut
    strips into 1-inch pieces. Wrap
    pieces
    individually in plastic wrap or
    waxed paper. (Candy must be
    wrapped to hold
    its shape.)

    ABOUT 1 POUND.
