Servings 1 8x8 pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup good quality bourbon I used Woodford Reserve
  • Salt for sprinkling I used himalayan sea salt but any flaked sea salt will do

Instructions
 

  • Grease an 8x8 pan and line with parchment, keep some over hang so you can easily lift the caramel out of pan for cutting.
  • In large sauce pan with high sides add the cream, corn syrup, sugar, butter and bourbon.
  • Bring to boil over high heat, stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Bring heat down to med/high heat and let cook without stirring. Make sure you attach your candy thermometer at this time.
  • Continue to cook until mixture reaches 248 degrees F. This took about 25-30 minutes for me. But start checking thermometer sooner as every pan and cook top is different.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan and let cool completely.
  • When ready cut into 1 inch squares, sprinkle with a little salt and wrap each piece in parchment or wax paper.
