    Hi Jill, I did make the caramels again for my family for Valentine’s Day and they were super pleased. I cut the candy into squares and rolled them in pecans. Wrapped the Carmel’s in cellophane paper and placed into a tin with hearts. Thanks again

    There is a clip on the thermometer to put it on the side of the pan so you can adjust it do not touch the bottom. I have made fudge and stuff for many years with a candy thermometer you don't just stick it in. Also I used to make the water test with ice instead of cold water

    Hello from Alaska. Got snowed in so decided to make these. Never have corn syrup on hand so use honey. Y2K I bought 120 #. Got a few quarts left. Any way I poured mine in silicone miniature brownie pan makes 24. Used the remaining caramel for pretzel 🥨 rods. Awesome. Your recipe is fast. Used to make this with the cream method took about 45 minutes. This is fast. Thanks for posting.

    • @TheCarefreeKitchen
      @TheCarefreeKitchen  4 роки тому +3

      It sounds like it needs to be cooked a little longer. You can melt it down in a pan again and cook a few more minutes. The longer it's cooked, the firmer the caramel. Good luck!

  • @kentlindsay9307
    @kentlindsay9307 4 роки тому +4

    I stayed true to your recipe Jill but added cinnamon & pecan when I added the vanilla and of course salt at the end. It smells amazing and looks good so far , we will see when it comes time for cutting in 45 mins. I’ve tried caramel before and it sucked, so hopefully hopefully it turns out it 2020 girl! I pray your family is well! Ours is and for that, we thank God! This is showing up to you on my husbands email but he is at work and it’s me Johna having fun at home!

      Everything else was just one cup.
      The caramels came out so creamy that those who tried them say they are the best they've ever had.

    If you try the cold water test, it’s better to take your pot off the heat as you test. Also it’s best to individually wrap the caramels as soon as they’re set , cold and cut because they’ll rapidly get impossibly sticky without wrapping. In wrappers they’ll keep far better. Tbh I’ve never had a batch of caramels last more than two days before being nommed so I know they’ll last that long at least lol.

(it's still sorta warm underneath my glass pan) but when I cut it the top is fine but the bottom looks to be just under soft ball. Can I throw it back in the pot ? If so, do I bring it to a boil again and try to get it to 240? I have a new thermometer coming tmw

    • @branchen6299
      @branchen6299 4 роки тому +2

      This probably happened because you had some sugar crystals still on the side of your pan while you were cooking. To avoid this, mix your sugars and water together, warm it a little and put a lid on it for a few minutes. The steam will wash any sugar crystals back into your mixture, then add the rest of your ingredients.
