Caramel

from Katie Hansen
This was part of a candy making demonstration at the Super Saturday Enrichment on May 16, 2009.

2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups corn syrup
1/2 cup milk
dash of salt
1 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a large stockpot. (It will boil up about 4 times the volume). Bring to a boil. This will need to come to about 235 degrees. Test a bunch of times as it gets closer and lower the temperature to medium. This part goes really quickly. After it is done, add vanilla and pour into a 9x13 pan and cool overnight. Don't try to rush the cooling because it will just stick. It really needs to set.
