       Title: NEVER-FAIL TAFFY
  Categories: Candies
       Yield: 36 Servings
  
       2 c  Sugar
     1/4 ts Cream of tartar
       1 tb Vinegar
       1 tb Butter
     3/4 c  Hot water
  
   Combine all ingredients in heavy sauce pan. Cook on low temperature until
   sugar is dissolved. Cook over medium heat to "crack" stage. Pour on
   buttered plate to cool. As soon as taffy is cool enough to handle, pull
   with floured hands. Taffy should still be hot enough to make you say "ouch"
   but not hot enough to do serious damage. Keep pulling until taffy has
   cooled. This recipe is from a loose-leaf cookbook probably compiled many
   years ago by the LDS church relief society in Malad, Idaho. The recipe is
   credited to Mrs. Dan Tovey of Malad.
