Toffee Apples

While the sugar, syrup and butter will certainly not help a politically correct caloried controlled diet.
At least the fruit is healthy!

Ingredients:

2 pounds (1 kilo or 5 cups) demerara (light brown) sugar
Nut of butter
1 small tea spoon vinegar
1 dessert spoon golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
Half cup water
Sticks for holding the toffee apples (ice lolly sticks do at a pinch)

Method:

Stir together the sugar, vinegar, syrup and water and heat until boiling, stirring continuously.
Continue on a slow boil for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Insert the stick into the core of each apple and dip the apples into the mixture.
Place on a greased tray, with the sticks in the air, until dry.
Serve to your little children (not forgetting the big children too! Mainly you!)
