Title: Old-Fashioned Peppermint Taffy
Categories: Snacks, Candy
Yield: 28 Ounces
1/4 c Butter; cubed, +1 tb, divided
2 c Light corn syrup
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Peppermint extract
1/2 ts Salt
6 dr Red food coloring
Grease a 15x10x1" pan with 1 tb butter; set aside.
In a heavy small saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar. Bring to a
boil over medium heat. Add remaining butter; stir until melted.
Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 250°F/121°C
(hard-ball stage).
Remove from the heat; stir in the extract, salt and food coloring.
Pour into prepared pan. Let stand for 5-10 minutes or until cool
enough to handle. Divide into four portions.
With well-buttered fingers, quickly pull one portion of candy until
firm but pliable (color will become light pink). Pull into a 1/2"
wide rope. Repeat with remaining candy. Cut into 1" pieces. Wrap
each in waxed paper.
