Homemade vanilla caramels

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup White sugar
⅔ cup Corn syrup (clear white)
1½ cup Light cream, divided
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Directions

Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and ½ cup cream in a heavy saucepan.

Cooking over low heat, stirring constantly, heat through until sugar crystals dissolve. Add the vanilla and increase heat until a nice low boil is obtained. Stirring constantly, continue to cook until soft ball stage is reached, and slowly add ½ cup cream. Continue to cook until cream is absorbed and then slowly add remaining ½ cup of cream. Continue to cook until 238-240F on candy thermometer is obtained. Remove from heat. Carefully scrape hot caramel mixture into a greased pan and cover with clean towel. Allow to sit until almost completely cool and set. Using a sharp knife run under hot water (and keeping water flowing to run knife under while cutting) slowly cut into squares. Allow to sit until completely cool. Wrap individual squares with plastic wrap or wax paper, twisting the tops closed.

Can then be stored in a large plastic sealable bag. Origin: Sharon Stevens. Shared by: Sharon Stevens, Oct/95.
