How to Make Pink Salted Honey Caramels
Homemade caramels sounds like an intimidating thing to make, but if you have a candy thermometer and don’t walk away from it, it’s pretty easy to do. These are made with a combination of honey and sugar for a unique twist. The pink hibiscus sea salt adds an amazing flavor, especially if you use a floral honey, such as wild flower or orange blossom. These make a great homemade gift; simply wrap the individual caramels in parchment paper.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup good quality honey
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt Revolution Jamaica Sea Salt
Instructions
- 1- Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
- 2- Put the sugar and honey in a large saucepan and and turn the heat to medium. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, but don’t walk away; watch it carefully.
