Ingredients:

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • cochineal food coloring
  • green food coloring

Directions:

  1. Put everything except the vanilla into a sturdy pan.
  2. Cook over slow fire until the sugar has dissolved and the pot contents are boiling.
  3. Stir constantly to stop the mixture from burning.
  4. I used a long wooden spoon.
  5. Continue cooking the mixture until it thickens, becomes a lump, leaves the side of the pan and cystalisation begins.
  6. Add colouring (if using) when the mixture is about to be taken off the fire.
  7. Add vanilla and stir well.
  8. Spread mixture on buttered tin (we used a square 1 high tin) Do not press down too much.
  9. Cut the mixture into squares when it has cooled slightly.
  10. When it has cooled down (it'll be hard), use a knife and cut through the grooves and separate the pieces.
