Vanilla Cream Taffy
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Water, | 1 cup |
| Vinegar, | ΒΌ cup |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Flavoring (vanilla), | 1 teaspoon |
The sugar, water and vinegar were boiled until a little of the syrup, tried by Betsey in cold water, formed a hard ball. Just before it reached this stage Betsey slipped in the butter.
As soon as it was done Betsey took it from the fire, added the vanilla, poured into the buttered pan, let it cool until she could handle it, then greased her fingers and pulled until it was quite white and cut into small pieces.
