Salted Caramels Recipes

Steps:

• Butter and line the base and sides of a 20 x 30cm tin with baking parchment.
• Pour the cream into a saucepan along with the butter and vanilla, then bring to a simmer. Swirl the pan to melt the butter, then remove from the heat.
• In a separate pan, melt the sugar and golden syrup together, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar granules have dissolved, bring to the boil and cook until the temperature reaches 155C on a sugar thermometer. Remove from the heat and swiftly whisk through the cream mixture. Return to the heat and cook until the mixture reaches 127C, constantly whisking so it doesn't catch.
• Pour the caramel into the tin, tilting so it reaches the corners. Leave to set for 15 mins, then sprinkle with the salt. Leave to cool completely at room temperature (preferably overnight). Cut into squares using a very sharp, slightly oiled knife, then wrap each one in a square of baking parchment.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to drape over 2 sides, then brush the paper lightly with oil.
• In a deep saucepan (6 inches wide and 4 1/2 inches deep), combine 1/4 cup water, the sugar and corn syrup and bring them to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the mixture is a warm golden brown. Don't stir -- just swirl the pan.
• In the meantime, in a small pot, bring the cream, butter and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to a simmer over medium heat. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• When the sugar mixture is done, turn off the heat and slowly add the cream mixture to the sugar mixture. Be careful -- it will bubble up violently. Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, until the mixture reaches 248 degrees F (firm ball) on a candy thermometer.
• Very carefully (it's hot!) pour the caramel into the prepared pan and refrigerate for a few hours, until firm.
• When the caramel is cold, pry the sheet from the pan onto a cutting board. Cut the square in half.
• Starting with a long side, roll the caramel up tightly into an 8-inch-long log.
• Sprinkle the log with kosher salt, trim the ends and cut into 32 pieces. (Start by cutting the log in half, then continue cutting each piece in half until you have 32 equal pieces.) It's easier to cut the caramels if you brush the knife with flavorless oil like corn oil.
• Cut glassine or parchment paper into 4-by-5-inch pieces and wrap each caramel individually, twisting the ends. Store in the refrigerator and serve the caramels chilled.

Steps:

• Spread dulce de leche on small butter crackers. Sandwich with vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Lightly grease a square enamel baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Scatter the brown sugar to the baking dish, spreading evenly.
• Top the sugar with the butter cubes, spreading evenly. Then pour over the heavy cream.
• Bake for 10 minutes undisturbed. Remove from the oven and whisk. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
• Let cool 3 minutes, then whisk in the vanilla and salt.

Steps:

• Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch straight-sided square metal baking pan with 2 long sheets of crisscrossed parchment.
• Bring cream just to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, then reduce heat to low and add chocolate. Let stand 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat.
• Bring sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt to a boil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil, uncovered, without stirring but gently swirling pan occasionally, until sugar is deep golden, about 10 minutes. Tilt pan and carefully pour in chocolate mixture (mixture will bubble and steam vigorously). Continue to boil over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until mixture registers 255°F on thermometer, about 15 minutes. Add butter, stirring until completely melted, then immediately pour into lined baking pan (do not scrape any caramel clinging to bottom or side of saucepan). Let caramel stand 10 minutes, then sprinkle evenly with sea salt. Cool completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours.
• Carefully invert caramel onto a clean, dry cutting board, then peel off parchment. Turn caramel salt side up. Lightly oil blade of a large heavy knife and cut into 1-inch squares.

Steps:

• Place sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until sugar begins to melt. Continue stirring until the sugar melts completely, begins to darken and all the chunks are dissolved, about 10 minutes. Stop stirring and continue to cook until the sugar begins to smoke and turns a dark shade of amber, 3 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and wait 30 seconds.
• Whisk in butter until melted and combined. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cream, taking care because it can bubble over. Sprinkle in salt and stir to combine. Transfer sauce to a jar and cool completely before refrigerating.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, gently melt the sugar over a low-medium heat, swirling the pan consistently until it reaches a golden amber colour.
• Stir in the butter until melted.
• Stir in the double cream and allow to boil for 1 minute.
• Stir in the sea salt and then remove from the heat.
• Allow to cool before pouring in a clean, sterilized jar.
• Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
