English Toffee III

Posted By North Star.

Ingredients.

2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup water

Directions.

1. Combine sugar, butter, vinegar, maple syrup, and water in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved; then boil without stirring until the mixture is dark brown to the hard ball stage. The toffee is done when it hardens at once into a crisp ball when dropped into cold water.
2. Remove from heat and pour onto a large greased baking sheet, spreading mixture to about 1/4-inch thick.
3. While still soft, score into squares, and when cool break into pieces.


Makes 36 pieces.
