SALT WATER TAFFY

• 1¼ pounds sugar.
• 1¼ pounds glucose.
• 2 teaspoonfuls salt.
• ½ ounce glycerine.
• Butter size of a walnut.
• 1 pint water.

Put sugar, glucose and water in kettle, stir until it boils, wash down sides of the kettle with a damp cloth, put in thermometer and cook to 260. Set off stove, add butter, glycerine and salt and stir in, then pour on a greased slab between bars. Let cool, then pull on hook as directed for other taffies, and flavor with vanilla while pulling. Be careful not to scrape out the kettle too much in pouring it on the slab, as it is liable to grain it.
