- Ingredients
- 2 c. sugar
- Flavoring
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. vinegar
- 1 c. water
- Directions
- Cook slowly until "small crack" or until cracks against cup, forming glass-like threads in cold water at 265°F–270°F. Never stir after mixture boils. Cover the kettle from 2 to 3 minutes to dissolve crystals on sides of the pan. Pour in buttered platter to cool. Do not scrape kettle.
- When cool enough to handle pull until porous. Have hands cool. Wash in cold water frequently and dry thoroughly. Use only tips of fingers to touch candy. Pull in long rope and cut with shears.
- Pull over a gas flame if candy cools before it is porous.
