Yellowman

1 1/2 cups corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 heaping Tb butter
2 Tb vinegar
1 tsp baking soda


In a large saucepan slowly melt together all the ingredients except the baking soda. Do not stir. Boil until a drop hardens in cold water (240* on candy thermometer). Stir in baking soda. The toffee will immediately foam up as the vinegar releases the gas from the baking soda. Pour out onto a greased slab and while just cool enough to handle fold the edges toward the center and pull repeatedly until the whole is pale yellow in color. Allow to cool and harden in a greased tin and break into chunks.
