Yellowman
Traditional food sold at the Lammas Fair in Ballycastle for the last 350 years

1 stick butter
1 lbs. brown sugar
1 lbs light corn syrup
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp baking soda Combine butter, sugar, syrup and vinegar in a medium sized saucepan, boil without stiring until a drop hardens in cold water. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda, which will foam up. Pour into greased pie tin and let cool. Break into chunks and store in an airtight tin.

It creates a porous, spongy, hard candy that tastes REALLY sweet, this the closest to the exact recipe the Lammas Fair uses that ive seen.
