Black Walnut Taffy Recipe

	Crabhappychick / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago I LOVE an old-fashioned taffy pull! So do the grandkids. This recipe is EXACTLY as I got it from my grandmother. I don't know how many generations this goes back, but was reminded of it at my godaughter's this weekend when we were standing under her black walnut tree. ...

Ingredients

1 cup molasses

2 cups karo syrup

1 cup light brown sugar

Directions

Cook to stiff ball just before a light crack. Take off fire & add nuts & enough baking soda to make a nice color. Keep stirring while adding nuts & baking soda. You can mix English walnuts & black walnuts together. This makes it less expensive.

Put in greased pan & spread out & cut into pieces when cool.

NOTE: I interpret "stiff" ball as hard ball stage. Don't you just love the "less expensive" comment?! I never use the black walnuts as I don't like them. Good with pecans and almonds or cashews, too.

I haven't made taffy in over 40 yrs! Omg, I'm old! Ack! I have to make this as I'm also a black walnut fan. This sounds just too good to me! Oh thank you, thank you for your recipe!

I want to make this, as I love, love black walnuts! One question, though: what quantity of nuts do you use? I don't think it's in your recipe, or I overlooked it. Let me know so I can make this! Thanks!
