Another fun recipe from my my kitchen!! I tackled caramels....and they are yummy!!Here is the recipe I used....
ingredients
- 1/2 pound unsalted butter ( 1 cup / 2 sticks)
- 1 lb. light brown sugar (a whole box!)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 t. vanilla
other items you need
- one pot
- quality candy thermometer
- wooden spoon
- 9x9 baking dish or Jelly roll pan lined with
- parchment paper
In a large pot over high heat, bring cream, corn syrup, sugar, and butter to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
Continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches 248oF, firm-ball stage on a candy thermometer, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
Pour into the prepared pan and let stand uncovered for several hours (I let mine set over night), your pan is very hot, so make sure your surface is heat proof!!
- Cut the caramels into small squares. I use a sharp butcher knife
- Cut a square of waxed paper and center your caramel on it.
- Roll the caramels in the waxed paper, and twist the ends.
Share with your friends quickly, before you eat them all!!
