Serves
24
1 cup Chelsea White Sugar
1 tblsp honey
1 tblsp vinegar
Knob of Butter (size of a walnut)
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 : Place the Chelsea White Sugar, honey, vinegar and butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2 : Insert a candy thermometer and boil gently until it reaches the hard crack stage (149-154oC).
3 : Remove from the heat and add the bi-carbonate soda, stirring until the mixture swells up.
4 : Pour into a buttered tin (approx. 15cm x 23cm), let cool until half set then mark into squares with an oiled knife. Alternatively, wait until the mixture is cold, turn pan over and knock out with a hammer - it will break into a
number of pieces.
5 : Store in an airtight container, packed between single layers of greaseproof wax paper.
This recipe is really easy if you have the right equipment! Our candy thermometer ran out of battery so we just estimated, and it looks great! Hasn’t risen that much, lots of bubbles though!!
