Taffy

1. 1

   Butter a large baking sheet.

2. 2

   In a black iron pot (about 2 quart size), combine the sugar, vinegar, corn syrup, cream of tartar and butter.

3. 3

   Bring to a boil and cook until it reaches 250 degrees on a candy thermometer.

4. 4

   Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Immediately pour into baking pan. Allow to cool slightly until the edges become firm enough to pull toward the center of the pan.

6. 6

   Continue pulling edges toward the center until mixture is firm enough to handle.

7. 7

   This mixture will be very hot, so be careful when handling it. Don't butter your hands because this makes it difficult to pull the taffy.

8. 8

   The taffy, when ready to be pulled, should not stick to your hands.

9. 9

   If it does, you can rub a little cornstarch onto the palms of your hands.
