Pull Taffy was a great sweet treat when we used to have sleep-overs of friends and everyone could help pull and cut the candies (less work for us!).
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 T vinegar
- 1/4 t baking soda
- A few drops of vanilla
Mix sugar, water, and corn syrup together and stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then allow to cook with stirring until a candy thermometer registers 270ºF, or hard crack stage.
Remove from heat and add vinegar, soda and a few drops of vanilla. Pour onto a buttered platter.
When cool enough to handle, pull until the taffy is white and porous. Cut into pieces with scissors.
