    1 bag of sugar(1 kilo)
    1/2 block of margarine (125g)
    1 cup of milk (200ml)
    1 tin of condensed milk (397g)

     

    Using a heavy bottomed saucepan (I use the base of my pressure cooker) slowly melt the milk and margarine together. Don’t allow to boil.
    When the margarine has melted add the sugar and bring to the boil whilst stirring occasionally.
    When the sugar mixture has reached boiling point stir in the entire tin of condensed milk and return to the boil stirring all the time.
    Cook on a rolling boil for 20 minutes stirring all of the time – please don’t walk away from your pot as it will boil over and burn.
    At the end of your 20 minutes take the pan from the heat and beat vigorously with your wooden spoon for five minutes.
    Pour into your greased tin and allow to cool enough so that you can score the surface with a sharp knife into little bite sized pieces ( I make pieces about 1″ square)
    Allow to cool completely before turning out your tin and breaking into pieces.
