Ingredients
Preparation
In 3-quart saucepan, mix molasses, vinegar. Cook gently, stirring to 260 degrees F. on candy thermometer, or until a little mixture, dripped into cold water, becomes brittle. Remove from heat. Add butter, salt & soda. Stir until foaming stops; pout into greased 12" x 8" x 1" pan. When candy is cool enough to pull, drop peppermint into center. Lift corners; draw to center; press together. Pull, using thumbs and fingers; fold. Repeat until light in color and slightly firm. Pull into 2 long ropes 3/4" thick; cut into 1" pieces; wrap in wax paper, plastic wrap or foil. Makes about 6 1/2 dozen pieces. Molasses Taffy: Omit oil of peppermint. (Good Housekeeping Cook Book) Posted to EAT-L Digest by Al & Diane Johnson on Dec 27, 1997
