Question

Answer 1

Mint Humbugs

Ingredients

Oil, for greasing

350 Gram Sugar (12 oz)

5 Tablespoon Liquid glucose

250 ml Water (8 fl oz)

1/2 Teaspoon Cream of tartar

1/2 Teaspoon Oil of peppermint, or to taste

few drops Green food colouring

Method

Makes about 375g (13 oz)

Combine the sugar and glucose in a saucepan. Add the water and heat gently, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. Add the cream of tartar, bring to the boil and boil gently until the mixture registers 140 °C (275 °F) on a sugar thermometer, the small crack stage.

Remove the pan from the heat and add peppermint oil to taste. Pour on to a lightly oiled slab or large plate. Divide into two portions, adding green colouring to one portion.

Allow the mixture to cool until workable, then pull each portion separately. Using oiled scissors, cut into 1 cm ( 1/2 inch) pieces, turning the rope at each cut. When cold and hard, wrap the humbugs individually in waxed paper and store in an airtight tin.
