      Title: VINEGAR TAFFY
 Categories: Candies
      Yield: 60 Servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
      4 tb Vinegar
    1/4 ts Cream of tartar
      1 ts Lemon extract
 
  Place sugar, water, vinegar and cream of tartar in saucepan. Cook to
  soft-crack stage (285 deg. on candy thermometer). Stir in lemon extract and
  pour out on a buttered platter. When cool enough to handle, butter hands
  and pull until white and glossy. Cut with buttered scissors into sticks or
  cushions. Store in tightly covered tin for several weeks to allow candy to
  mellow. This is a recipe of my grandmother's dating back to about 1900.
  "Taffy pulls" were a social event in the "old days" - often sponsored by
  churches and held at a member's home. The candy, when mellowed, is a lot
  like a mint except with a lemon flavor. Very good! Hope you enjoy!
