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.
