      Title: Salt Water Taffy
 Categories: Candy
      Yield: 1 Pound
 
      1 c  Sugar
      2 tb Corn starch
    3/4 c  Light corn syrup
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 tb Margarine
      2 ts Vanilla
 
  Grease 9x9x2" cake pan. Mix sugar and corn starch in 1-1/2 qt
  saucepan. Stir in corn syrup, water and salt. Add margarine. Cook
  over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and sugar
  is completely dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, until
  temperature reaches 260 F, or until a small amount of mixture
  dropped into very cold water, forms a ball which is hard enough to
  hold its shape, yet plastic. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Pour
  into prepared pan. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Pull with
  fingers until it has satin-like finish and light color. Pull into
  long strips, 1/2" wide. Cut 1" pieces with scissors. Wrap in waxed
  paper.
