Servings: persons

1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (about 1 small orange)
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
flaky sea salt

1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment and set aside.
2
Combine pomegranate molasses and orange juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
3
Remove from heat, add sugars, corn syrup, butter, cream, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and pepper. Return to medium-high heat.
4
Continue cooking caramel, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until caramel registers 255 F on a candy thermometer (varies depending on humidity and other factors, but this took about 10 minutes for me). Quickly stir in vanilla extract.
5
Pour caramel into prepared parchment-lined baking dish, spreading to corners and edges with a spatula if needed.
6
Allow caramel to cool about 30 minutes before sprinkling sea salt over the top and gently pressing in as needed.
7
Allow to cool an additional 2 hours before cutting. Individual pieces can be wrapped in parchment or waxed paper.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
