    Title: Maple Taffy Apples
    Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Snacks
    Yield: 6 Servings

    6 md Tart Apples
    1/3 c Maple Syrup
    1/2 c Brown Sugar
    1 tb Soft Butter
    1/4 c Water
    1 ts Lemon Juice
    6 Heavy Wooden Skewers

    Wash apples in warm water and dry well. Remove stems
    and insert skewers into stem ends. In a deep heavy-
    bottomed sauce pan, combine the syrup, brown sugar,
    butter, water and lemon juice.

    Over medium-high heat, bring to a rolling boil for
    8-10 minutes, watching carefully. Remove from heat.

    Prepare a 4" deep pan of ice water. Working quickly,
    carefully immerse apples into hot syrup, twisting to
    coat evenly. Dip quickly into ice water then place
    on greased tray.

    Cool completely in refrigerator.

    Title: Grandma's Taffy
    Categories: Candy, Snacks
    Yield: 40 Pieces

    2 c Sugar
    2 tb Cornstarch
    4 tb Butter
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 c Corn syrup
    1 1/2 c Water
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 tb Orange; or other flavored
    - extract
    8 Drops food coloring; any
    - color

    In a large saucepan, stir together the sugar and
    cornstarch. Add the butter, salt, corn syrup and water;
    mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to
    mix in butter. Heat to 275ºF/135ºC, or until a small
    amount of syrup dropped from a spoon forms hard but
    pliable threads.

    Remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla, flavored
    extract and food coloring. Pour into a greased 8" x 8"
    baking dish. When cooled enough to handle, remove candy
    from the pan, and pull until it loses its shine and
    becomes stiff. Pull into ropes, and use scissors to cut
    into 1" pieces. Wrap each piece in waxed paper.

    Yield: 40 pieces
