In a Heavy pot (I use my Pressure cooker pot) add:
2 Cups White Sugar A dash of Salt (about 1/4 tsp) 1 1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream Mix well and do not turn on heat until sugar is browned in next step - then turn on lowest heat In a separate pan, add 1 cup White Sugar on low to medium heat. Let sugar brown and melt but do not let it scorch. Once sugar is melted, slowly add 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream while stirring. This will make the sugar harden into fun crystal sculptures but as you stir constantly, you'll melt this back down to a liquid. Once browned sugar is melted back down with with the cream, pour into Heavy pot with other ingredients and stir in well. DO NOT STIR AFTER THIS STAGE Wipe down sides of pan with damp cloth to lessen the chances of sugar crystallization. Cook on low - med heat until candy reaches Soft Ball stage. I prefer to use the water test for this as it has more accurate results than candy thermometers. Once candy is at Soft Ball stage, remove from heat and let cool to room temp. The bottom of the pan should be cool to the touch. Scrape candy into Kitchen Aid bowl and whisk on low until candy turns from shiny to dull in color and has a creamy consistency. Wrap in wax paper and place in fridge to chill. These are also fun to pour into silicon molds or mini cups for gifts.

AboutThe following are recipes that we use often. I don't want to create a food blog with a lot of photos. The purpose is simply to have easy online access to recipes we use in 1 place in case friends or family ask how to make something or we're shopping and need to verify ingredients. There are some recipes that are not complete with measurements as we tend to use the "little of this and a dash of that" method of cooking on a lot of foods. ArchivesCategories
