Treacle Toffee::
Ingredients::
2 1/2 cups soft brown sugar
1/2 cup demerera sugar (crystalised, light brown sugar)
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup black treacle
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vinegar
Before you start, butter a low-side cake-tin and set aside, you'll be pouring the toffee in it for setting later. Place ingredients in large heavy pan and heat slowly, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Then, cover and bring to a strong boil. To keep mixture from sticking to the bottom, stir for the next 10 minutes, or until your mixture reaches 280ºF. To check that your mixture is ready, drop a little of the mixture, into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, then the toffee is ready to be set. Pour into the tin you prepared and let cool. When the toffee is half set, mark it into squares. When the toffee is hard, break it up, and eat and enjoy.
Fire Baked Potatoes - 1::
You Will Need::
One potato
One long stick or instrument to shove the potato into the bonfire
Butter, salt, pepper, and other condiments to lather onto your baked potato.
Find a good potato and wrap it tin foil.
Take your long stick or instrument to shove the potato gently into the bottom of the bonfire. The base of the bonfire is where all the heat is, so watch your fingers and eyebrows. Don't forget where you put your potato! About forty-five minutes later (one hour later, if you picked a very big potato), pull out that tuber and let cool for a few minutes.
Fire Baked Potatoes - 2::
No Bonfire Night party is complete without these! It is important that the potatoes are cooked right through. For fillings , try experimenting with different butters , such as garlic, herb, chive or ketchup butter. Alternatively, split open the cooked potatoes and add some grated cheese or chopped onion. Serves 12.
You Will Need:: Potatoes - 12 large, Sea salt.
Scrub the potatoes and make a zig-zag split down one side. While they are still wet dip each cut side in sea salt. Wrap potato in foil, making sure that the join is over the cut side. Cook the potatoes in a pre-heated oven for half an hour at 220C-425F-Gas 7, then place them in the hot coals at the base of the fire to finish cooking for about 1 hour. When completely cooked, open the foil and gently squeeze the potato until it opens up. Serve with butter.
