Salted Ginger Caramels
Prep Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 9 hours, including resting time
Directions
Yield: Makes 81 Caramels
Prep Pan
- Butter or spray 9″-square baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving enough to hang over edges of pan and act as handles.
Cook Caramel
- Combine cream, sugar, syrup and butter in medium-size, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring until sugars have dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and golden, and temperature reads 248°F on a candy or digital thermometer, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in kosher salt, vanilla and ginger. Pour into prepared pan. Let rest 1 hour or until surface has set. Sprinkle with fleur de sel. Let rest at room temperature overnight.
Shape Caramels
- Lift caramel out of pan using handles and wrap with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Store, refrigerated, up to 1 week.
- As needed, cut caramels into 1″ pieces and serve.
