Vinegar taffy Recipe
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.02
  
       Title: Vinegar Taffy
  Categories: Candies
       Yield: 6 servings
  
       1 c  Sugar
     1/2 c  Water
     1/4 c  Light corn syrup
     1/2 ts Salt
       2 tb Vinegar
       1 ts Vanilla or other flavoring
            -such as orange or lemon, or
            -use:
     1/2 ts Peppermint or:
       1 oz Bitter chocolate, grated
  
   From Grandma Ruby's recipe file: newspaper clipping
   
   Cook sugar, water, corn syrup, salt and vinegar until a few drops of
   the mixture will make a hard ball in cold water, 260 degrees on a
   candy thermometer.  Pour onto a greased dish or platter, sprinkle
   flavoring over top and turn the outer edges of the candy in toward
   the center until cool and firm enough to handle.
   
   Best results are obtained in pulling if the tips of the thumbs and
   fingers are dipped in cornstarch or fat. Use only the fingertips to
   pull taffy. When mixture can be handled, take up and pull out with
   both hands. Fold over and pull out again.
   
   As the mixture becomes cooler and the longer it is pulled, it will
   become stiffer and can be pulled out in a longer strand.  Pull until
   it is difficult to pull out and the mixture seems quite firm.
   
   Pull into long thin strips and cut immediately with greased scissors
   and roll each piece in powdered sugar or wrap in wax paper. Store
   cooled taffy in an air tight container in a cool dry place.
   
   If the taffy sugars, it can be recooked by putting it in a pan with 2
   Tablespoons corn syrup and 1/4 cup water.  Stir until dissolved and
   then recook according to original directions.
   
   Finely chopped nuts or fruit, as well as other flavorings, are added
   as the taffy is being pulled.
   
   I wish I had a date for this...I'd say recipe is at _least_ 30 years
   old...possibly 40, maybe even more...  This is a lesson to all of you
   to date your recipes, including newspaper clippings!
