Recipe - Saltwater Taffy (Microwave)

2 tablespoon Butter
2 teaspoon Butter
2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Light corn syrup
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Food coloring as desired

Lightly butter a jellyroll pan. In a 3quart microwavesafe casserole
with high sides, mix sugar, salt, syrup, and 1 cup hot water. Cook on HIGH
until boiling, about 8 minutes. Stir. Cook until mixture reaches 260F on a
candy thermometer, about 15 to 20 minutes. When the bubbling stops, stir in
2 tablespoons butter, the vanilla, and food color. Pour into prepared pan.
Cool about 5 minutes. Lightly butter hands; gather one sixth of taffy into
a ball. Pull until taffy holds its shape in a 1/2inch thick strand. With
buttered shears, cut into 1inch lengths. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap.

Note: Other flavorings can be used. Add according to taste.

Makes 1 One half pounds.
