Bonfire Toffee
Ingredients
1 lb sugar, preferably Demerara
1/3 pint water
1 ¼ ozs butter
2 level tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon vinegar
Instructions
Put all the ingredients into a strong saucepan and stir over a steady heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring to the boil and cook slowly.
To test for consistency drop about half a teaspoon of the mixture into a cup of cold water, if it sets hard then it is done, if still soft and chewy cook for a little longer and test again.
Pour into oiled or buttered tin and either allow to set as a slab or mark in squares as toffee becomes partially set.
Break when completely set.
For variety use black treacle instead of golden syrup or add peanuts or chopped mixed nuts.
