Tips:

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the caramel reaches the correct temperature. If the caramel is not hot enough, it will be too soft and runny. If it is too hot, it will be too hard and brittle.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel. Overcooked caramel will be dark and bitter.
  • Work quickly when pouring the caramel into the molds. The caramel will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get it all poured.
  • If you don't have candy molds, you can pour the caramel onto a greased baking sheet and cut it into squares once it has set.
  • Store the caramels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Lemon and rosemary caramels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just to enjoy as a snack.
