List of Ingredients




2 C soft Brown Sugar
1/2 C Butter (creamed)
Juice of 1 Lemon or 1 heaping t ground Ginger


Recipe



Dissolve the brown sugar in a pan.  When it turns to liquid add the butter and lemon.  Allow to boil but stir gently the whole time for 15 minutes or so.  The right consistency is achieved when, if a little is dropped into very cold water, it hardens.  Beat your mixture firmly for 5 minutes; pour onto a buttered tin and when it has cooled mark it into squares with a knife.  When cold it will set hard.  Tap the bottom of the tin with a rolling pin and it will break up into squares.
