Recipe for Yellowman
- taken from A Little Irish Cookbook - Appletree Press Inc and Ireland's Eye www.Irelandseye.com
Ingredients
- 0.5 kg / 1lb / 1.5 cups golden or corn syrup
- 250g / 8oz / 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 tbsp butter (heaped)
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp baking soda
Method
- In a large saucepan, slowly melt together all the ingredients EXCEPT the baking soda.
- DO NOT STIR.
- Boil until a drop hardens in cold water (190°C, 240°F on a sugar thermometer).
- Stir in the baking soda.
- The toffee will immediately foam up as the vinegar releases the gas from the baking soda.
- Pour out onto a greased slab and while just cool enough to handle, fold the egdes towards the centre and pull repeatedly until the whole lot is a pale yellow colour.
- Allow to cool and harden in a greased tin and break into chunks with a toffee hammer.
