SALT WATER TAFFY 
1 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 c. light corn syrup
1/2 c. water
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 dram Lorann flavoring (1 tsp.)
Lorann food coloring

Mix sugar and cornstarch in 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Stir in next four ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and sugar is completely dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, until temperature reaches 260 degrees F. or until a hard but plastic ball is formed in cold water.

After boiling has ceased, stir in flavoring and coloring. Pour onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Grease hands and pull until it has a satin-like finish and light color. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Wrap in waxed paper.
