Boil for 5 minutes or until soft ball stage. (You can test this without a candy thermometer by putting some cold water in a clear glass, and dropping a few drops of the boiling mixture into it. It should form into a ball, and when you take it out of the water, it should flatten in your hand in seconds. If it doesn't form into a ball, try again after a minute, and continue doing so until it does flatten like a pancake in your hand.)
