Caramels

Christmas series 2 of 5

One of my favorite memories of the holidays is homemade caramels! This recipe is my Grandmas.

Ingredients

1 c. sugar

4 c. white corn syrup

1 cube butter

1 can evaporated milk

In a large pan heat sugar, syrup and butter on high until soft ball stage, stirring often. Keep boiling and gradually add milk.

Keep stirring and boiling. Cook to firm ball stage (this takes a while). It will turn golden brown.

Pour into a large, buttered cookie sheet and cool until room temperature

Cut into bit-size rectangles. place in small square-ish size piece of wax paper, roll ends.

now do this a million more times till the caramels are all wrapped up =)
