• butter a baking dish and set aside.
• in a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, vinegar, butter, cream of tartar, and salt. heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is melted. do not stir once mixture comes to a boil.
• cook candy until mixture reaches 250 to 265 degrees f (121 to 129 degrees c) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. remove from heat and pour into prepared dish.
