ID EMEMBER the fun you
IL had when you were a
youngster pulling taffy with
your favorite beau? Times
haven't changed teen
ayers still think a taffy pull
is a real gone" party.
These brisk fall evenings
are a good time to gather in
the younger set, turn the
kitchen over to them, and let
the gang enjoy this honey
form of entertainment.
And with the holidays
looming in the not-too-diStant
future, we've included some
candies for gift-giving. This
will give you time to perfect
your skill and see which ones
you like the best. One word
of warning: Temperatures are
important in candy making.
If the cooking time isn't right,
neither is the candy. You'll
find a candy thermometer a
good investment against
failure.

lasSeS, l cup sugar. l table

Combine all ingredients in a
2-quart saucepan. Place over
low heat and stir until sugar

dium heat until sirup, when

separates into threads which
are hard but not brittle, or
until candy thermometer
reaches 270 degrees. Pour into
creased platter. AS edges cool,
fold toward center, or they
will harden before center is
ready to pull. When candy is
cool enough to handle, press
into ball with lightly buttered
fingers. Pull until candy is
light in color and ready to
harden. Stretch into a long
rope, l2-inch wide. Cut into
l-inch pieces. Wrap each
