Caramel
"This is a Better Homes and Gardens recipe. I make this in the fall when the apples are ready to harvest. A bite of crisp tart apple, a bite of caramel... yummm"
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
2 1/2 pounds
- Serves:
- 8
ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 1⁄4 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 dash salt
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
directions
- Butter a square pan and set aside.
- Melt butter in medium sized pan. (I usually melt mine in the microwave and then add it to the pan to reduce the chance of burning).
- Add sugar and dash of salt. Stir well.
- Stir in corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk.
- Stir constantly.
- Cook over medium heat to 245 degrees or firm-ball stage (12 - 15 minutes). You can test candy by dropping a spoonful into ice water and then attempting to roll it into a firm-ball with your fingers. If it goes flat, it's not done. Wait until the candy actually can form a nice round ball.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Pour into buttered pan.
- Set aside to cool.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a happily married woman with four children between the ages of 9 and 21. I love to cook and have been collecting recipes since I was a teenager. I recently gathered all of my favorite recipes together in one file on my computer and then it crashed! Thankfully I made copies but after that experience I've decided to post my recipes to recipezaar so that in case I ever lose one I will be able to find it. Some of these recipes are so good I hope everyone tries them! Enjoy!!
