Honey Taffy

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup honey

• 3 tbsp. cornstarch

• 2/3 cup water

• 1/8 tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS

Grease a tray or platter.

Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt together in a saucepan.

Stir in water and honey and cook over medium heat until taffy forms a very hard thread when a drop is tested in cold water, or registers 266 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Pour onto tray or platter and let cool until taffy can be handled.

Grease hands and pull until milky-looking.

Shape into a long rope and cut into pieces about 1 1/2" long.

Wrap in wax paper or foil.

Note: Like all candy or cake in which honey is used, the delicious honey flavor mellows in a day or so.
