Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar white
- 1 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 2 cups heavy cream preferably organic
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly buttering the paper.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, cream, and corn syrup over medium heat.
- Stir the mixture constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, making sure the tip is submerged but not touching the bottom.
- Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches 245°F (118°C). This should take about 30-40 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Let the caramel cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel into small squares and wrap each piece in wax paper.
