- Put everything in a large heavy pan and heat gently, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
- Turn up the heat and boil without stirring until it reaches 140°C on a sugar thermometer.

- Once completely cold, break into pieces with a small hammer. Store in an airtight tin.
Cook's noteWrap pieces in baking paper to stop them sticking together.
