Steps:
- Butter one 8 inch square pan; set aside.
- In a 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water, butter, cornstarch and salt. Mix together well and bring to a boil. Heat without stirring until a candy thermometer reads 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Remove from heat; stir in vanilla, almond extract, almonds and food color. Pour into pan. Let stand until cool enough to handle. (Taffy should be lukewarm in center as well as at the edges.)
- At this point, fold, double and pull the taffy until it is light in color and stiff. Butter hands lightly if taffy begins to stick. Cut taffy into pieces with scissors and wrap the pieces with plastic wrap to maintain shape.

Steps:
- Lightly grease a baking sheet. Bring the sugar, molasses, water, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the sugar has reached the hard ball stage, 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
- Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter and baking soda. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and allow to cool until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, fold the taffy in half, then pull to double its original length. Continue folding and pulling until the taffy has turned golden brown, and is too stiff to pull anymore. Cut the taffy into bite sized pieces, and wrap in waxed paper. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- 1. Mix together all ingredients except baking soda. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil, without stirring further. When mixture reaches the hard ball stage (265 degrees - when a small piece dropped into cold water forms a hard ball). Remove from heat, stir in soda and pour into buttered baking pan.
- 2. Butter hands and keep hands buttered throughout the pulling process. When taffy is cool enough to handle (but not too cool!)Careful now since even though it is cooled enough to handle it can still bring up blisters, cut in long pieces and pull and fold with a partner until candy becomes satiny, stiff and light in color (about 10 to 15 minutes). Finished strips should be pulled to about 1/2 inch wide. Cut in lengths of 1 12 inches and wrap individual pieces in waxed paper.

PULLED MOLASSES TAFFY
Meet the Cook: French-Canadian children traditionally make this soft, chewy taffy on November 25, the feast day of St. Catherine. Bert, my husband, and I farm on the largest of the Thousand Islands. Often some of our nine children, 18 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren get in on the fun of pulling the taffy. -Betty Woodman, Wolfe Island, Ontario

- 4. Stir in the baking soda.
- 5. Pour the mixture into the buttered pan. With a metal spatula, fold over from edges until cool enough to handle.
- 6. Butter your hands and quickly pull and fold the taffy back on itself.
- 7. Do this until the color starts to lighten, then twist, continuing to pull as long as possible.

OLD-FASHIONED TAFFY PULL
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Mix all ingredients except milk in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir often until sugar is completely dissolved. Increase heat and bring mixture to boiling. Slowly add the evaporated milk in a thin stream so boiling does not stop.
- Put a candy thermometer in pan; continue stirring. Cook and stir constantly until mixture reaches 248 F (firm ball stage). Dip the pastry brush in water and gently brush sides of the pan to wash crystals from sides of the pan. Do this a few times while candy is cooking.
- When candy has reached desired temperature, remove from heat, remove thermometer and without scraping sides and bottom of the pan, pour mixture onto a large platter which has been generously greased with margarine.
- Let the taffy mixture cool until it is cool enough to handle. Grease your hands with margarine; take a small portion of the candy and, using only the tips of your fingers, begin pulling. Candy should be white in color and no longer feel sticky when it has been pulled enough.
- Twist each pulled strip slightly and place on waxed paper. When all the candy is pulled, cut each strip into 1-inch pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper and twist ends. You can get a special colored paper for this. Store in a container with a tight-fitting cover.
- Serve and enjoy!

- Butter a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside. Butter sides of a heavy 3-quart saucepan. In pan combine sugar, molasses, water, the 1/2 cup butter, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat to boiling, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve sugar. This should take about 5 minutes. Avoid splashing mixture on sides of pan. Carefully clip candy thermometer to pan.
- Cook over medium-low heat, without stirring, until thermometer registers 265 degree F, hard-ball stage. Mixture should boil at a moderate, steady rate over entire surface. Reaching hard-ball stage should take about 40 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat; remove thermometer. Pour into prepared pan. Cool until mixture can be handled easily. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. Butter hands; twist and pull candy until it turns a creamy color and is stiff and quite difficult to pull. This should take about 10 minutes. Candy is ready to snip if it cracks when tapped on work surface. Divide candy into fourths; twist and pull each piece into a long strand about 1/2 inch thick. With buttered scissors, snip into bite-size pieces. Wrap each piece in clear plastic wrap. Makes about 80 pieces or 1-1/2 pounds.
