Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cups (237 ml) honey
- 1 cups (237 ml) cream
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups (59 ml) coconut palm sugar
- 0.5 tsp large granule Salt
- Salt
Instructions
- Line a small baking dish with parchment paper. Add a bit of butter to the bottom of the dish to help the parchment paper stay in place.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, over a double boiler, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, cream, and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the coconut palm sugar and 1/2 tsp large granule Real Salt until it dissolves.
- Clip on the candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, ensuring the tip does not touch the bottom. Do not stir the caramel again.
- Allow the caramel to heat to 200°F (93°C); about 20-30 minutes. Once it reaches 200°F (93°C), remove the saucepan from the boiler and place directly onto the stovetop over medium-low heat.
- Allow the caramel to reach 235°F (113°C).
- Once the caramel reaches 235°F (113°C), pour it into the small parchment-lined baking dish and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, transfer to the refrigerator to harden.
- Once hardened, cut into pieces and sprinkle with large granule salt. Cut into bite-sized pieces and wrap individually in parchment paper if desired. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a richer caramel flavor, use dark honey instead of regular honey.
- If the caramel becomes too thick while cooking, add a teaspoon of hot water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Store caramels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; they may soften slightly at room temperature.
