I got this recipe from a 1980 regional cookbook put out by a nursing home that my wife's Grandma was in. I remember Grandma & the other residents putting in thier favorite recipes...Grandma was an excellant cook! This is an Antique Recipe. Candy Pulling was a great get-to-gether in olden days! I have NOT tried this recipe. Prep, yield & cooking times are approximate! Ingredients:
1 cup sorghum |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon white vinegar |
1/8 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients, except soda.
2. Cook s-l-o-w-l-y until syrup forms into a hard ball in water .
3. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Just before removing from heat, stir in the soda.
5. Pour into buttered pans.
6. When cool enough to handle, butter hands slightly & pull until light & firm.
7. Draw into sticks & cut into pieces with kitchen shears dipped in corn starch.
8. Wrap individualy in wax paper.
