Ingredients

5 cups sugar

1 cup water

6 tablespoons butter

1 cup cream, warmed if possible

Directions

  1. Place sugar in a clean dry saucepan. Pour the water around the wall of the pan to avoid any splashing of sugar crystals onto the sides of the pan. Bring to a boil and continue cooking on high until amber colored. Turn heat off and with a wooden spoon, stir in the butter and then the cream. Pour into an 8 by 8-inch pan that has been lined with foil and well-buttered and let the caramel cool and set until firm. Once firm, cut into squares. Wrap in decorative clear plastic. Store at room temperature.

The carmel never set, do not use foil because it does not come off no matter how much butter you prep it with. Very disappointing!
