Caramels....

We're still milking our cow and getting a little extra cream for butter and such...such as in caramels.
Here's what's left of our caramels.  I melted some today to eat with my apple-

So if you're interested here's the recipe from my old Betty Crocker Cookbook.
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
2 cups light cream
Butter square pan.  Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter and one cup of cream in large saucepan.  Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Stir in remaining cream.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 245 on candy thrmometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a firm ball.
Immediately spread mixture evenly in pan to cool.  Cut into 1-inch squares.

Eat!
