Honey And Cream Taffy Recipe Recipe 45

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the butter, salt, corn syrup and water; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to mix in butter. Heat to 275 degrees F (134 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped from a spoon forms hard but pliable threads.
• Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla, flavored extract and food coloring. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. When cooled enough to handle, remove candy from the pan, and pull until it loses its shine and becomes stiff. Pull into ropes, and use scissors to cut into 1 inch pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in large,heavy saucepan.
• Bring to boil over medium heat,stirring constantly.
• Continue stirring and cook until mixture reaches soft crack stage (270 degrees on candy thermometer).
• Pour mixture onto cool,buttered surface (a large cookie sheet works).
• Allow to cool slightly,until it can be handled comfortably.
• Here is the fun part,butter your hands,find a partner,pull and twist taffy into ropes, until it lightens in color.
• Break ropes into pieces about 2 inches long.
• wrap pieces in waxed paper and twist ends.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a heavy based pan, and heat gently until the sugar dissolves.
• Bring to the boil and boil rapidly until the syrup reaches the soft crack stage, or 145oC (290oF), measured on a sugar thermometer.
• Pour onto a greased marble slab and allow to cool until lukewarm, pulling the edges towards the centre, so they don't become too hard.
• With greased hands, pull and stretch the taffy, until it becomes light in colour, and more elastic.
• Form a rope, and cut into pieces with shap kitchen scissors or a heavy knife. Wrap in clingfilm or waxed paper.

Steps:

• Grease a medium-sized pan with butter and place in the refrigerator. In a medium-sized pot, combine cream and honey. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit so make sure there is a lot of room at the top, but you need the mixture to be deep enough to get a good reading with your candy thermometer. Cook over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes to a boil. Cook uncovered without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 280°. Remove from the heat and mix in the baking soda. Pour into your greased dish/baking pan, taking care not to scrape the sides of the pot. Now for the fun part! Wait until it is cool enough to handle, then pick it up with buttered hands and stretch until the taffy becomes a bit lighter and firm ridges form when you pull. Braid taffy into whatever design you like then trim with clean, buttered kitchen scissors.Wrap individually in waxed paper and store in the fridge/freezer.
