Apple cider caramels

This recipe is from tutorial Sweet Treats with Marya Merriam.

Ingredients

For this recipe you will need:

• 2 c heavy cream

• 1 c light corn syrup

• 2 c sugar

• 6 tbl butter

• ½ c boiled cider (you can make your own by boiling down cider, King Arthur will tell you how!, I get mine from Brookfield Bees who make it in their maple syrup evaporator)

• ½ tsp salt 

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ginger 

• ¼ tsp nutmeg

Instructions

1. Lightly grease an 8x8 pan and line with parchment paper.

2. Heat cream, corn syrup, sugar, butter, and boiled cider in a heavy bottomed 4qt saucepan over medium high heat. Stir gently to dissolve sugar, then heat without stirring until 245-248F (cooler means softer caramels).

3. Remove from heat, stir in salt and spices, and pour into pan. Allow to sit for at least 12 hours before cutting into squares and wrapping in parchment paper. 

4. Modification: For caramel sauce, heat to 226F and refrigerate after a few days.
