RECIPE:
SALT WATER TAFFY
2 c cane
juice crystals
2 T cornstarch
1 c tapioca syrup
¾ c water
2 T butter
1 t sea salt
¼ t Lorann
banana cream flavoring
2 drops yellow
liquid coloring
In a
heavy saucepan, mix together sugar and cornstarch. Stir in corn
syrup, water, salt and margarine. Place over medium heat and stir
until sugar dissolves. Cover pan and bring to a boil for 2 or 3
minutes. Uncover, place thermometer in pan and cook to 256 - 266
degrees F. The lower temperature will result in a chewier taffy, the
higher a more brittle texture. Remove from heat and add food color
and flavoring. Stir gently, pour onto greased marble slab or a
shallow greased pan to cool.
When
cool enough to handle, grease hands and pull the warm candy with
fingertips, pulling out to about 12 inches at first. Quickly turn
candy back from fingertips of one hand to the other hand, then catch
center and pull again. This will incorporate air into the candy. Continue
pulling until taffy is light in color and has a satiny gloss. Pull
into a long rope, cut with greased scissors and wrap in waxed paper
squares, twisting ends.
