Ingredients:

  • time varies from 1 stove top to another - best to gauge with the candy thermometer as it yields best results.
  • 1 tbsp butter or margarine
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • peppermint extract

Directions:

  1. Put all ingredients except flavoring in large heavy saucepan.
  2. Bring to boil, and cook until a small amount of mixture forms a hard ball when dropped in very cold water (254 degrees F. on a candy thermometer).
  3. Pour onto a large buttered platter.
  4. As edges cool, turn mixture toward center with a spatula. When just cool enough to handle make a hollow in center of taffy and add a few drops of flavoring.
  5. Gather up taffy and pull until light, using a little butter to grease hands while pulling. twist into a long rope and cut into pieces with scissors. Wrap each piece in wax paper and store in a cool dry place. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds. Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery
