Hi guys

few days ago i watched the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8nJ6Q2tSGc

anyone knows the recipe or have any idea how to possibly make a syrup like pulled taffy that doesn't get hard?

Ah the table is not heated apparently

Thank u

The only thing I can think of that would keep it fluid would be corn syrup. I have NO idea if I'm right but that would be where I would start my search. Corn syrup would also explain the glossy shimmer the candy has. If you find out the official recipe, I'd be very curious to know!

Ok, I had to look it up. I was wrong....at least according to this recipe....here's what it says:

• The ingredients for macun are quite simple: caster sugar, water, cream of tartar, citric acid and “the aromas” — which are usually spices or fruit essences. And, when needed, food coloring — often still naturally derived, though some vendors use synthetic colorants. The sugar, water, cream of tartar and citric acid are stirred together over a low heat until the sugar melts and the mixture begins to bubble. The heat is then turned off and an aroma and a natural coloring are added and mixed thoroughly. The whole sticky batch is then poured into one of the five sections of the macun tray. This process is repeated by the macuncu until his tray, his macun tepsisi, is filled with the flavors he wants to offer.
