Salt Water Taffy

Hi Everyone,

I was surprised how easy it it to make taffy. Who knows maybe it will be something Doug will make! I thought it would be fun to share this recipe. It seems a lot easier than it actually is. I think the trick is in the pulling. I would really be interested to hear if any of you will try this recipe or have in the past. What is the trick?

Salt Water Taffy

1 cup corn syrup
¾ cup water
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Argo or Kingsfords Cornstarch
½ tablespoon corn oil
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon desired flavoring, preferably vanilla

1. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt and corn oil.
2. Add the corn syrup and water and stir until the mixture boils rapidly.
3. Boil to 252 degrees For until a little when tried in cold water forms a fairly hard ball.
4. Flavor, pour onto a large platter lightly oiled with corn oil and when cool enough to handle, oiling the hands with a little corn oil, pull into a rope and cut in inch lengths.
