And I'll follow u's there KYH & Cathy, 'cause I wanna listen in! hee-hee!
This "Candy Day" making the Stained Glass Cany is the closest I've come to a taffy-pull, Cathy... Though I've always heard of them- and I love me some taffy, for sure! My niece loves banana-flavored "Laffy Taffy". I get her a big thing of it from Sam's Club everytime I go...
Here you CAG - call us when it's ready!
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup white corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon glycerin (can be purchased at a ********)
Flavoring extract:
* 1 teaspoon peppermint oil extract = Peppermint Taffy
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract = Vanilla Taffy
* 1 teaspoon banana extract = Banana Taffy
7 drops food coloring
2 tablespoons butter
* Mix sugar, water, corn syrup, salt, and glycerin in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook to a temperature of 258 degrees F.
* Remove from heat and let stand for two to three minutes. Then add flavor extract, color and butter and stir vigorously until butter is melted. Pour into buttered cookie sheet.
* Cool until lukewarm taffy can be handled.
* Begin to stretch and fold over and over until taffy turns paler in color, about 10 minutes. You may find this easier to do with a small amount of butter or oil on your hands.
* Roll taffy into long rope. Cut into individual pieces and wrap in wax paper.

Yum- I love taffy! Thank ya, mama!
I'd re-share the funny Johnny Carson joke about the taffy-pulling contest to be held at the Church of St. Peter... but something tells me it wouldn't make it past the newly inspired and re-invigorated nasty-word police... So, following KYH's lead from yesterday: "#144!!!" Ha!
