I loooove homemade carmels. The making of homemade candies is a Christmas tradition of my childhood that has carried over to my own children. Amongst the homemade goodies, carmels are without a doubt my Christmastime favorite. We made this delectable treat on Monday evening. Now Thursday evening... the pan is licked clean. My kids love them too! So without further ado, the recipe:
2 cups sugar
1 cup Karo syrup
3 cups cream
Combine in medium saucepan, sugar, syrup, and one cup cream on medium high heat. Heat to 230 degrees (softball stage) stirring constantly. Add 2nd cup of cream. Heat to 230 degrees again. Add 3rd cup of cream heat to 230 degrees. You can do the cold water test to check consistency of carmels. Pour in a buttered 9 x 13 pan. Allow carmels to set up. Cut into squares and wrap in waxed paper.
These babies do not disappoint. There is a bit of an art to carmel making, if you under cook they are too gooey, and if you overcook too hard. The trick is to get them just right. It is also a must to stir constantly, as to not burn the carmels on the bottom. Day nine, I am grateful for this delicious treat!
