Categories     Desserts    Candy Recipes

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
1 cup molasses
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a baking sheet. Bring the sugar, molasses, water, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sugar has reached the hard ball stage, 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
  • Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and allow to cool until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once cool enough to handle, fold the taffy in half, then pull to double its original length. Continue folding and pulling until the taffy has turned golden brown, and is too stiff to pull anymore. Cut the taffy into bite sized pieces, and wrap in waxed paper. Store in an airtight container.

Old Fashioned Vinegar Taffy Recipe - Food.com image

It's a "handed down" recipe that I got 20 years ago....You can add a few drops of food coloring or substitute another flavor extract (or both) for different colors/flavors...

Total Time 0S

Prep Time 0S

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup water
1/8 cup butter (2 Tablespoons) or 1/8 cup margarine (2 Tablespoons)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, vinegar, and water in a medium saucepan; stir well before putting on the stove. Cook over low heat about 8 to 10 minutes until it reaches (228F) the softball stage.
  • Add butter or margarine and vanilla.
  • Pour the mixture into a buttered platter and let it cool enough so you can handle it. Butter your hands well (important! keep enough butter on your hands otherwise you'll stick), pick up the blob and begin to pull it. The more you pull the whiter it gets.
  • When it has reached the right consistency, cut into small pieces with a pair of scissors (easier to use for this than a knife.)

OLD FASHIONED PULL TAFFY | JUST A PINCH RECIPES
Boy does this one take me back to my early days...pulling taffy in my kitchen when I was a little girl with my family. This is an old favorite that has been around for ever. My Dad was the one who taught my older siblings back in the 40's how to make this, I came along in the 50's, caught the tail end of our taffy pulling days. Growing up with 10 siblings..you can only imagine how much taffy we have pulled! I have now passed it on to my children, as well as, my grandchildren. Give it a try..always a treat. My Dad died in 1972. Oh the memories it brings back to life for me, because, I think of him everytime I make this awesome treat.
