How Do You Make Salt Water Taffy?
Why not try making your own taffy! It will be fresh and taste so much better than store bought taffy. Everything always taste better when it is freshly made rather from sitting on a shelf for who knows how long. Combine sugar, syrup, salt, and 1 cup water in a 2-quart saucepan. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Then cook to hard ball stage (265 degrees F), without stirring. Remove from heat and then stir in remaining ingredients (butter, oil of peppermint, green food coloring). Pour into buttered 15 1/2 X 10 1/2 X 1-inch pan and cool till comfortable to handle. Butter hands; gather taffy into a ball and pull; when candy is light in color and gets hard to pull, cut in fourths. Pull each piece into long strand about 1/2 inch thick; with buttered scissors, quickly snip in bite-size pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper. Enjoy!
