Caramel Recipe
Ingredients
By Measure
3 Cups Sugar
1/4 Cup Water
1 Cup Cream
1/2 Stick Butter
By Weight
1# 6 Ounces Sugar
1/4 Cup Water
1 Cup Cream
2 Ounces Butter
Preparation
-
In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan wet all the sugar down with the water.
-
Over medium-high heat bring to a boil and cook until sugar turns a caramel color.
-
Take off the heat and carefully pour in the cream - this will boil violently so be very careful while stirring the cream in.
-
Add the butter and allow to cool.
-
Makes about 3 cups caramel.
NOTE: Once sugar begins to simmer DO NOT stir anymore as this can cause sugar crystals to fall into the mixture and seize your caramel. If this happens I find it best to clean out the pan and start over.
NOTE: If you see sugar crystals forming on the sides of the pan wipe them off with a pastry brush dipped in water.
