Homemade Caramels

1. 1

   Line a 9 x 5 x 3-inch bread loaf pan with parchment paper, and spray with cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the heavy cream, butter and salt. Microwave in 30-second increments until melted and steaming. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a 2-quart saucepan (seriously, don't use a smaller one-it boils up), add the sugar, corn syrup and water. Turn the heat to high, and cook without stirring until it reaches between 290 to 295u00b0F. Turn the heat off.

4. 4

   Slowly stream in the heavy cream mixture, and whisk gently. Turn the heat back to high, and cook without stirring until it reaches 250u00b0F.

5. 5

   Turn off the heat, and add the vanilla. Whisk gently to combine. Immediately pour the mixture into the loaf pan; do not scrape the bottom of the pan.

6. 6

   Let sit for a few hours, or overnight. Slice into desired shapes and wrap individually in waxed paper.
