Taffy

Recipe is from Mazie and Annie.

3 cups sugar
2 cups white Karo
¼ tsp gelatin
3 TB cold water
½ cup thick sweet cream
vanilla

Boil sugar and syrup until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Soak gelatin in cold water and add to first mixture. Continue boiling until a firmer ball is formed in cold water. Add the cream and boil until a crisp ball is formed in cold water.

Pour on marble slab or buttered platter and pull as soon as it can be handled. Add a few drops vanilla as you pull. Use sharp scissors to cut into pieces. Pieces may be wrapped in plastic wrap. Candy should be used within a reasonably short time as it crumbles if kept too long.
