Ingredients

  • 400 g cream
  • 400 g sugar
  • 40 g honey
  • 240 g glucose
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 20 g butter
  • 1 g salt

Instructions

  • In a large pot, combine the cream, sugar, honey, and glucose.
  • Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla pod and add them to the pot.
  • Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and stir the mixture continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Bring the mixture to a temperature of 116°C (241°F). Add the butter as soon as it reaches this temperature and continue stirring.
  • Continue heating the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 118°C (245°F). Once it reaches this temperature, turn off the heat.
  • Add the salt to the caramel and stir well to combine.
  • Line a small baking dish with parchment paper and pour the caramel into it. Allow the caramel to cool and set overnight.
  • To make the wrapping papers for the caramels, take pieces of parchment and fold them in half.
  • Press down the folded edge with an offset spatula and then slide it through to create a clean cut.
  • Repeat the folding and cutting process until you have the desired size of paper.
  • Cut the cooled caramel into individual pieces and wrap each piece in a piece of parchment paper.
  • Enjoy your delicious homemade caramels!
