1 ½ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ¼ cups heavy cream

HEAVENLY CARAMELS

These caramels are the best I have had yet... You MUST watch your candy thermometer closly and STIR pretty much the entire time... It takes a while, but well worth the wait... GREAT christmas gifts...

Categories     Candy

Time 1h

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups brown sugar (packed)
1 cup white bakers sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup evaporated milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan. or- I use Parchment paper VERY lightly greased -- and even then, i wipe it off with a napkin so it is just barly covered.
  • In a LARGE pot (because it tripples in size ladies) combine sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, whipping cream, and butter. Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring.
  • When the thermometer reaches ABOUT 242-250 degrees. ***If you want the kind of caramel that is really soft and stringy when you bite into it, cook closer to 242. If you want chewier caramel yet they are still beautifully soft, cook closer to 250*** This usually takes around 40-50 minutes, and cook on a medium heat -- It will not burn this way- it my be necessary to turn it up at about 220 -- It seems to sit at that temp if you dont increase the heat. But you must stand and stir constantly at that point so it doesnt burn.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in vanilla. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and let the mixture cool completely. When cooled cut the Carmel into small squares USING A PLASTIC KNIFE and wrap them in wax paper for storage. The plastic knife is a God-send -- Slides right through.

CARAMEL SAUCE

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pats
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Combine the brown sugar, butter, cream and salt in a medium saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the mixture is smooth and saucy, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use real butter, heavy cream, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Cook the sauce slowly and carefully: Don't rush the process. Caramel sauce needs to be cooked slowly over low heat to develop its full flavor. Be patient and stir the sauce constantly to prevent it from burning.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Caramel sauce is ready when it has reached a deep amber color and thickened slightly. If you cook it too long, it will become hard and brittle.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before using: This will allow it to thicken further and become more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Caramel sauce is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of desserts and drinks. It's easy to make at home with just a few simple ingredients. With a little patience and care, you can create a delicious caramel sauce that will impress your friends and family.
