Directions: |
Directions:In a 2 qt heavy saucespan, melt butter. Roll around the sides of the pan to grease the pan well. Add water and vinegar. Bring to a boil. Stir in sugar carefully so that it is completely dissolved. Cover saucespan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until sugar crystals are melted down from the sides of the pan. Uncover pan and continue rapid boiling of syrup to a hard-boil stage (262 º).
Remove from heat and pour into a lightly buttered shallow pan with a depth of 1/2". Do this very carefully, holding the saucespan not more than an inch above the cooling pan. Do not scrape the pan! Let the candy cool undisturbed until it can be held comfortably in your hand. Knead gently until it can be pulled and folded. If cooked correctly, it will not stick. Pull taffy until it has a satin-like finish and breaks off when hit against a hard surface. Pull to a rope of desired thickness. Cut into 1' lengths with kitchen scissors. |

Notes: Again, as always, this candy is a wonderful fun activity to do with children.
Taffy is a non-crystalline candy and takes great care in cooking and handling so that sugar crystals do not form. Be sure to: 1) Dissolve the sugar thoroughly by stirring well in the beginning. 2) Cook for the first few minutes with the cover on the saucespan. 3) Pour the syrup carefully from saucespan to cooling pan and 4) Do not disturb the taffy until it is time to pull it.
