Taffy pull for kids of all ages! 2 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. vinegar
Combine all ingredients in a large (2 quart) sauce pan. Bring mixture to a boil and cook at a boil to 260 degrees on candy thermometer or until a small amount when dropped into cold water forms a hard ball. Pour mixture into a buttered 13 x 9 inch pan. Cool until warm enough to handle. Butter hands well. Turn in sides of candy toward center and shape mixture into a long roll. Stretch out to 24 inches. Fold over and stretch again. Repeat until candy becomes golden in color, opaque, firm and elastic. This will require from 5 to 10 minutes. Have ready a surface dusted with confectioners' sugar or cornstarch. Form candy into a ball in your hands and press it into a point at the fingertip end. Grasping the narrow point in one hand, pull it away from the rest of the ball into a long rope, about 1 inch thick. Let the rope fall out onto the dusted board like a snake. Cut it into the size you prefer with well - buttered shears. Let cool. Wrap pieces in foil or plastic wrap. Store in tightly covered container.
Makes 1 pound of taffy.
