Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Increase heat to medium; cook until a candy thermometer reads 245u00b0 (firm-ball stage), stirring occasionally.
2
Add molasses and remaining butter. Cook, uncovered, until a candy thermometer reads 260u00b0 (hard-ball stage), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Add baking soda; beat well.

Pour into prepared pan. Let stand for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Butter fingers; quickly pull candy until firm by pliable (color will be light tan). When candy is ready for cutting, pull into a 1/2-in. rope. Cut into 1-in. pieces. Wrap each in waxed paper or colored candy wrappers.
