Salt Water Taffy Recipe

	Chefmeow / All my dishes 1 year ago SALT WATER TAFFY This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the McAfee Estate in Dallas, Texas in 1991. Notation on card indicates this came from a 1970 cookbook entitled Homemade Candy by the food editors of Farm Journal. ... More Prep:10m Cook:30m Servings:20	Chefmeow

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

1-1/2 cups water

1-1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons glycerin

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

Combine sugar, syrup, water, salt and glycerin in a heavy saucepan.

Place on low heat and stir until sugar dissolves.

Cook without stirring to the hard ball stage.

Remove from heat and add butter.

When butter is melted pour into a buttered shallow pan.

When cool enough to handle, gather into a ball and pull until rather firm.

Add vanilla while pulling then stretch out into a long rope and cut in 2” pieces.

Wrap each piece in waxed paper then when hard twist paper at both ends.

This will keep candy from becoming sticky.

I want to make this recipe, but I have a question... Line #7 says to add vanilla while pulling and stretching the taffy. I'm trying to picture that.....how does one do that??? Thanks.

I would say sprinkle on vanilla then pull. I typed the recipe as it was on the card, but you are right, that would be impossible to do at the same time.
