SPONGE CANDY 
1 c. sugar
1 c. dark corn syrup
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. baking soda

Combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar in a large very heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture reaches 300, or until a bit of mixture becomes brittle in cold water. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the soda. Mix well.

Pour into a buttered pan 9x9x2 inch. Candy will spread itself. Cool and break into bits for easy eating. Makes about a pound of candy. This old fashioned recipe was one belonging to my Mother.
