GREAT AUNT LOA'S CARAMELS




Source of Recipe


Adapted this recipe from greatAunt Loa's for the microwave.


List of Ingredients








1 cup heavy cream (Winnie uses Darigold Classic Heavy Whipping Cream)
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 maple syrup
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter










Recipe





Line 9 x 9 x 2 inch square pan with foil, so ends of foil overlap edges of pan. Set aside. Combine cream and milk in a microwave-safe 3 quart casserole or glass bowl. (Be sure container is big enough as this really 'climbs' as it boils.) Cover tightly with microwave safe plastic wrap. Microwave at full power for 3 minutes. Carefully prick plastic to release steam. Carefully uncover.

Stir sugar and maple syrup into the glass measure, stirring until sugar dissolves. Microwave uncovered at full power for 21 minutes, stirring CAREFULLY 3 times during t he cooking. (Be careful, careful, careful stirring as it climbs very fast up the spoon and it is easy to get burned.)

Remove from microwave and stir in butter until well blended. Pour mixture into prepared pan, scraping bowl thoroughly. Refrigerate the pan until the caramel is set firm. Remove caramel from pan by

pulling up with the ends of the foil. Invert the caramel and peel off the foil. Cut caramels into 64 squares. Wrap squares individually in plastic. Store in refrigerator and use within 2 months. DO NOT DOUBLE unless you have the container to handle the boiling!
