Title: Old-Fashioned Peppermint Taffy
Categories: Snacks, Candy
Yield: 28 Ounces

1 tb + 1/4 c butter; cubed
2 c Light corn syrup
1 1/2 c Sugar
2 ts Peppermint extract
1/2 ts Salt
6 Drops red food coloring

Grease a 15" x 10" x 1" pan with 1 tablespoon 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 250ºF/121ºC (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.

Makes: 1-3/4 pounds
