BONFIRE TOFFEE

INGREDIENTS 
1 lb sugar, preferably Demerara 
1/3 pint water 
1  ozs butter
2 level tablespoons black treacle
1 teaspoon malt vinegar
  
METHOD

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 stage 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 squared as toffee becomes partially set.
Break when completely set.
