My sister Jen is back, sharing a recipe for Homemade Caramels. This is by far my favorite of all the Christmas treats she makes. These are YUMMY!
Caramels
Supplies:
- 1 Cup Butter
- 2 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Candy Thermometer
Line a 9×9 or 8×8 baking pan with foil, extend the foil over the edges of pan. Butter the foil. Set pan aside.
In a 3 quart heavy saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and corn syrup, and mix well. Cook and stir over medium-high until mixture boils. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Reduce heat to medium; continue to boil at a moderate steady rate. Stir frequently until the thermometer registers 248 firm-ball stage (about 20 minutes).
Remove saucepan from heat; stir in vanilla. Quickly pour mixture into prepared pan.
When firm use foil to lift the caramel out of pan. Use a buttered knife to cut into pieces, and wrap each one in plastic.

Oh. my. goodness. These are SO good! I made a batch, then wrapped them individually in waxed paper. It made a beautiful gift for our neighbors–and a welcome addition to our holiday table as well. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy holidays to you and Jen!
