My mother's simple recipe, begged from her when DS and DD were old enough for our own bonfire and all the trimmings.
½lb (225grms)
brown sugar (dark brown or Demerara)
1oz (30grms)
butter
1 small teaspoon
vinegar (malt will do)
2 tablespoons
black treacle (molasses)
1 tablespoon
cold water
Put all the
ingredients into a large pan and heat gently, stirring constantly, until the
sugar has completely dissolved.
Boil hard for 10
to 15 minutes, until the mixture reaches 150oC/300oF on a
sugar thermometer, or a drop hardens instantly when dropped into cold water.
Pour into a
well-greased baking tray and leave to cool. When completely cold break up with
a hammer. The odd shapes are part of the fun. J
