Step 5:     Allow to set for another 15 minutes. Cut the pieces with a greased knife but don’t remove from the tray. Keep outside in a cool dry place. Separate the pieces on the next day. Store in an airtight container.

Note:

  • To test if your mixture has entered the soft ball stage, take some water in a bowl and drop a teaspoon full of the mixture into the water. The mixture should firm up and form a ball. It should not disintegrate. This is known as the soft ball stage.
