Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 tb Butter
2 ts Butter
2 c Sugar
1 ts Salt
1 c Light corn syrup
1 ts Vanilla extract
Food coloring as desired

Lightly butter a jelly-roll pan. In a 3-quart microwave-safe
casserole with high sides, mix sugar, salt, syrup, and 1 cup hot
water. Cook on HIGH until boiling, about 8 minutes. Stir. Cook until
mixture reaches 260F on a candy thermometer, about 15 to 20 minutes.
When the bubbling stops, stir in 2 tablespoons butter, the vanilla,
and food color. Pour into prepared pan. Cool about 5 minutes.
Lightly butter hands; gather one sixth of taffy into a ball. Pull
until taffy holds its shape in a 1/2-inch thick strand. With buttered
shears, cut into 1-inch lengths. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap.

Note: Other flavorings can be used. Add according to taste.

Makes 1 1/2 pounds.
