Preparation

• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, add the cream and first 6 ingredients. Whisk all ingredients until they are thoroughly combined in the cream, with no lumps.
• Continue to whisk and bring the cream mixture up to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes then remove from heat.
• In a medium to large saucepan Add the sugar, butter, corn syrup and water. Bring mixture to a boil and melt the sugar. While the sugar is melting, keep stirring the mixture.
• Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to medium high and cover the pan. Leave the pan covered for 3 – 5 minutes.
• (It’s ok to lift the lid at 3 minutes to check on the mixture.) You want the color to be a nice golden caramel color.
• Once you’ve got that color, add the cream mixture (everything is going to boil up – don’t panic).
• Keep stirring everything for another 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat and pour into a heat proof glass container (like a large measuring cup) until it cools.
• Then pour into jars for giving…or keeping for yourself.
