---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

     Title: VINEGAR TAFFY
Categories: Candies
     Yield: 60 Servings

 1 1/2 c  Sugar
   1/2 c  Water
     4 tb Vinegar
   1/4 ts Cream of tartar
     1 ts Lemon extract

 Place sugar, water, vinegar and cream of tartar in saucepan. Cook to
 soft-crack stage (285 deg. on candy thermometer). Stir in lemon extract and
 pour out on a buttered platter. When cool enough to handle, butter hands
 and pull until white and glossy. Cut with buttered scissors into sticks or
 cushions. Store in tightly covered tin for several weeks to allow candy to
 mellow. This is a recipe of my grandmother's dating back to about 1900.
 "Taffy pulls" were a social event in the "old days" - often sponsored by
 churches and held at a member's home. The candy, when mellowed, is a lot
 like a mint except with a lemon flavor. Very good! Hope you enjoy!
