Orange Cream Taffy
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Water, | 1 cup |
| Vinegar, | ¼ cup |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Flavoring (orange), | ½ teaspoon |
Betsey let the sugar, water and vinegar boil until a little of the syrup, dropped in cold water, formed a hard ball. The butter was added just before it was done and the orange flavoring as soon as it was taken from the stove.
Pouring the candy into the buttered pan, Betsey let it stand until she could handle it easily, then with well-greased fingers she pulled the candy white and cut it in pieces.
