Wow Paddy I've not heard of gundy for years, thats a blast from the past !! The last time I bought it was out of a butcher shop :eek: I know - last place you'd expect to buy a sweetie, I cant mind if it was George Mackay's or Harrold's but definitely on High St in Wick.
Someone from the WRI may be a good bet for a recipe though ;)

Haven't tried it yet, so don't know if it's the real deal.


4 tbsps sugar
4 tbsps syrup
1 tbsp water

Put above ingredients in a pan and heat slowly until dissolved. Boil
rapidly until hard ball stage. Pour on to well buttered tray.

Turn in edges with a buttered knife until cool enough to handle. Butter
hands well, pull and fold the toffee until almost white. Twist and cut.

I used to make gundy when i was small wth our neighbour Marie miller, she used to use a marble slab to work the gundy on, but i never learnt the recipe, but i can remember stretching and pulling at the gundy. and heaven forbid if your fillings were loose
