"This is a delicious and basic recipe for taffy. Enjoy."

Original recipe yield: 1 pound.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract
1/2 cup sliced almonds

DIRECTIONS:
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.
