Honeycomb

There is an abundance of different methods and recipes how to make honeycomb but this is the one I find supreme.

Ingredients

150 g caster sugar

50 g honey

50 g glucose

30 ml water

1 tbls bicarbonate of soda (12g)           

Method

Place sugar, honey, glucose and water in a pot and combine. Wash the edge of the pot with clean cold water and bring the mixture to the boil. Allow it to boil until it reaches156º C and take of the heat. Mix the sifted bicarbonate of soda in and pour this mixture quickly onto a greased or baking paper lined tray. Allow cooling until hard before breaking or cutting into pieces. Place honeycomb pieces in an airtight container.

Note: Cold honeycomb can be crushed and added to desserts such as ice creams, syllabubs and trifles. Try dipping the honeycomb in your favourite dark, milk or white chocolate.
