Ingredients




2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla or mint extract
2/3 cup water
2 teaspoons cream of tartar

Preparation

1 This was a tradition at Christmas time in pioneer days. The children usually would "pull" the taffy. 2 Mix sugar, water, butter and tartar in saucepan. Place over low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat (do not stir) until a firm ball can be made by dropping a dab into cold water. 3 Remove from heat and add extract. Pour into greased pan. Let cool before children or guests begin to pull it. Keep stretching until you have long pieces about 1 inch thick. Lay on waxed paper until hard. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
