	Margaret.. you need to boil it for 2 hours, and make sure it doesnt boil dry!! Let the tin cool slightly before you open it and cover your hands... it is hot, thick and sticky!!! Maz x

Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 1,527 Send Message	I remember the sugar sandwiches and the thick condensed milk.I can't eat sweet things now sadly. You and the beetles-So funny Princess My youngest,now a whisker off 40 ate a slug from the log pile.We have a photo of him doing it. I know,I know,we should have stopped it,but I was as big a kid then as they were. I think it is the only thing that winds him up when we talk about it. He can'tbear us to mention it- Rose

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 959 Send Message	Rose, Jammie Dodgers are still around - my daughter loves them. Waggon wheels are too but they are smaller. I once had choc ice and chips for dinner and have had stone soup. I used to love eating raw jelly. Jack x
