Title: 2 Pull Taffy My daughter makes eats and plays with
Ingredients: White Taffy
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
2/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
Put sugar, corn syrup and water in saucepan and
stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Boil without stirring until the thermometer
registers 268\'. Remove from heat and add the
vanilla. Continue as above.
Doubling either recipe is not recommended - too
much volume to handle and the results are less
predictable.
Title: Pull Taffy
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups molasses
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter (best flavor)
or margarine
1/8 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 drops of peppermint oil
(optional) or vanilla
Instructions
Put sugars, molasses and water in a large pan.
Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Boil until a thermometer registers 265\'F.
Cook the syrup slowly toward the end when it is
nearly done, stirring frequently to prevent
burning.
Remove from the stove and add butter, soda, salt
and flavoring.
Stir ONLY enough to mix.
Pour candy out onto greased platters or shallow
pans to cool.
When the candy begins to stiffen at the edges,
form the mass into a ball with a spatula. Take up
into hands (buttered) and pull between the thumbs
and fingertips- this is a \"short stretch
action\".
Continue until the candy is light colored and
porous. Then stretch into a long rope not larger
than one inch in diameter. Twist before cutting
into pieces with scissors. Pieces should be
fairly small. If the candy is not to be eaten
right away, wrap in waxed paper.
