Zubereitung von Homemade Caramels
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining 1 cup heavy cream.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently as the mixture begins to thicken.
- Increase stirring to constantly as the mixture darkens in color and thickens further.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the caramel reaches 254°F (123°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 60-70 minutes.
- Quickly pour the caramel into a buttered 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or your favorite) evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate until the caramels begin to set but are still slightly soft. This prevents them from becoming too hard.
- Once completely cool, cut into squares.
- Wrap individual caramels in plastic wrap for easy storage and gifting.
