Secrets of success are fast boiling and constant stirring.
1 cup sugar, 2 tbsp water, 1 tbsp malt vinegar, 1/2 a good tbsp golden syrup, 2 oz butter 1/4 tsp salt.
Put all ingredients in a large saucepan, bring slowly to the boil, stirring all the time.
Once it is boiling, boil rapidly for about 7 -8 minutes, when the mixture begins to darken and reaches soft ball stage, (put a small spoonful into a cold glass of water, it forms small balls).
When this stage is reached , pour into greased dish, or (silicon moulds ). When it nearly set , mark it into squares and then when set it should break into squares easier.
