Makes approx 450g/1lb Cold Vegetarian Sweets Home Made Gluten Wheat Free Eggless England British Europe
Ingredients
1. Place the water and sugar in a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring from time to time, until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Bring to the boil then boil hard for 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so.
4. Continue to boil hard for a further 5 - 10 minutes, until the mixture turns a mid brown colour. You must keep an eye on it as once it starts to turn colour, it will only be a matter of seconds before it burns.
5. Meanwhile, grease a shallow baking tin ( 20cm/8-inch square works) with butter.
6. One the mixture has reached the right colour, remove from the heat immediately and continue to stir until the mixture subsides and there are few bubbles left, then pour into the buttered tin.
7. If you wish,
after 15 minutes' cooling, mark the surface into squares with a knife. Allow to
cool for at least 3 hours before removing from the tin and breaking into
pieces - a hammer makes the job easier. Mind your teeth! Makes a nice homemade Christmas gift.
