Salt Caramels

FROM HEY, THAT TASTES GOOD! (heythattastesgood.com)
1cup heavy cream
5tbsp butter
1tsp +1tsp kosher or fleur de sel salt
1 1/2cup sugar
1/4cup corn syrup
1/4cup water
Directions:
1.Line a 8x8 pan w/parchment paper, then butter lightly the paper.

2. In a small saucepan, mix together the cream, butter & 1tsp salt. Bring to a boil, stir, take off the heat & set aside.

3. In a larger pan (preferably one with high sides) put in sugar, water & corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

4. Continue cooking, no longer stirring but instead swirling the pan gently every min or two, until it turns a deep caramel color.

5. Carefully stir in the cream mixture, which will then bubble furiously (you do NOT want to get any of it on you). Continue cooking for about 10 mins, until caramel mixture reaches 248F on a candy thermometer.

6. Stir in second tsp of salt.

7. Carefully pour into parchment-lined pan, & let cool for 2hrs.

8. Cut into squares. Wrap in wax paper.
