I got this from a co-worker about 12 years ago. These are the best melt in your mouth caramels I have ever had, and I always have to make them for Christmas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1.5 cups corn syrup
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
1
Butter a 9x13 inch dish.
-
2
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1 cup cream and butter. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then stir in remaining 1 cup cream. Heat, without stirring, to 242 degrees F (116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and pour into prepared dish. Refrigerate.

When cool, return candies to room temperature then cut into 1 inch squares and wrap in waxed paper.

Instant Pot Fresh Steamed Oysters with Spicy Butter
This steamed oysters recipe makes the shellfish easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture. I've made baked, grilled, steamed oysters on the stovetop, and even air-fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot is hands down the best method.
