Tricolor Taffy

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	396g / 13oz	Sugar
1 cup	237ml	Water
1 cup	328g / 11oz	Light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
2 tablespoons	30ml	Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon	5ml	Vanilla extract
		Nonstick cooking spray
1 teaspoon	5ml	Peppermint extract
1 teaspoon	5ml	Orange extract
		Food coloring
		Butter

Recipe Instructions

In a 4-quart saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt. Swirl the pot over the burner to dissolve the sugar completely, do not stir. Increase the heat and boil to soft-ball stage (250 degrees). Use a candy thermometer for accuracy. Wash down the inside wall of the pot with a wet pastry brush if necessary. Remove from heat, stir in the butter and vanilla.

Coat 3 sheet pans with nonstick spray. Pour the mixture onto the sheet pans, dividing in 3 equal portions. Mix the peppermint extract and a couple of drops of green food coloring in 1 batch. Mix the orange extract and a couple of drops of yellow food coloring in another batch. Leave the plain vanilla batch as is. As the candy cools, lift the edges toward the center with a metal spatula or bench scraper so they don't harden.

When just cool enough to handle, butter your hands and pull the taffy into long ropes. Twist and pull until the taffy is stiff and the color is even. Cut the ropes into 1-inch pieces with clean, buttered kitchen scissors. Wrap each piece in waxed paper and store in an airtight container.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
