Yellowman Toffee
- 1 1/2 c Brown sugar
- 4 tb Butter
- 4 tb Golden syrup
- 1 tb Water
- 1 ts Vinegar
- 2 ts Baking soda
Yellowman is thick and sweet, And much tradition lies behind it; For
centuries at Lammas Fair In Ballycastle, you would find it.
To make this toffee, first you melt The butter in a heavy pan; Add sugar,
syrup, vinegar, And start to boil your Yellowman.
To test it, take a spoonful up And in cold water let it fall: It's ready if
the mixture turns Into a crisp and brittle ball.
Now put the baking soda in-- You'll find that it will foam and froth; So
take a spoon and rapidly Keep stirring up the bubbling broth.
Now pour it in a well-greased tin; Cool, then break in bits to eat. You'll
soon know why, at Lammas fair, The Yellowman was such a treat.
