Soft Raspberry Caramels
Deliciously soft raspberry caramels are buttery and sweet. They make a wonderful gift for friends!
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional: a few drops of red food coloring, to your liking.
Instructions
- Grease a 12″ x 15″ inch pan.
- In a medium-size pot, combine sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, whipping cream, and butter. Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring. When the thermometer reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) remove the pot from the heat.
- Stir in vanilla and raspberry extracts, as well as food coloring if using. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and let the mixture cool completely. When cooled cut the caramel into small squares or logs and wrap them in wax paper for storage.
Notes
For regular caramels, omit raspberry extract and use 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract. For orange flavored caramels, substitute 1 teaspoon orange extract for the raspberry extract.
