    Christmas: Christmas Caramels

    Source of Recipe

    From "The Complete Southern Cookbook" by Tammy Algood

    Recipe Introduction

    "Individual pieces of this candy should be wrapped in wax paper and tied with colorful ribbons. They make welcome hostess gifts or nice remembrances for everyone from the mailman to neighbors."

    List of Ingredients

    • 2 cups cream, divided
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 1â…“ cups light corn syrup
    • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    • 12 Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed

    Recipe

    Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan and set aside.

    In a heavy saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup of the cream with the sugar and syrup. Stir constantly until the mixture boils. Slowly add the remaining cup of cream, vanilla, and the butter, one piece at a time.

    Continue cooking and stirring until it reaches the firm ball stage, 260°F on a candy thermometer. Pour into the prepared pan. Cool 6 hours on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

    Makes 2 pounds.
