Yorkshire Mint Humbugs

Yorkshire Mint Humbugs


1. Place the brown sugar into a heavy bottomed saucepan.

2. Heat gently until the sugar has completely dissolved, but do not stir.

3. Boil to a temperature of 310°F (154°C) - measure with a candy thermometer for accuracy.

4. When the water has evaporated add a few drops of peppermint essence.

5. Pour mixture on a slab, using a knife to prevent it running too thin.

6. Cut into strips, and cut with sharp buttered scissors. If you pull it a bit before cutting with scissors it will turn a lovely amber color.

7. Wrap in cellophane and store in an airtight container.
