Ingrédients
  

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Combine ingredients: Add the sugar, water, butter, and vinegar to a saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil: Heat on medium, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Cook without stirring: Let it boil steadily. Don’t stir now — this helps the texture stay smooth.
  • Watch for colour change: The mixture will thicken and turn a golden brown (like caramel).
  • Test for doneness:
    Drop a little into cold water: If it forms a soft, chewy ball → readyIf too runny → cook a bit longer
  • Pour and set: Pour onto a greased tray or baking paper.
  • Cut while warm: Score into squares before it fully hardens.
