Toffee Apples

6-8 small to medium red apples
6-8 wooden butcher's skewers or chop sticks
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
2 tsp white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp red food colouring

Wash the apples and dry thoroughly. Push a wooden stick or
chopstick into the centre of each apple at the stem end.
Line a baking tray with a sheet of baking paper.
Place sugar, vinegar and water into a deep, heavy-based saucepan
and stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Bring to the boil, then boil vigorously without stirring until the
toffee is just turning golden, or 150 C on a sugar thermometer.
Carefully dip apples in the toffee, rotating to coat completely.
Allow excess toffee to drip off. Take care
When set, wrap in cling film or cellophane and tie with fancy
ribbon. Leave in a cool place, not the refrigerator. These are best
made on the day they are to be eaten.
