Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Apple Cider (474 mL)
  • 3 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter (42.56 grams)
  • ¾ Cup Heavy Cream (170 mL)
  • 1 ½ Cups Granulated Sugar (297 grams)
  • ½ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (1.2 grams)
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Ginger (.6 grams)
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (.9 grams)
  • ½ Teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper
  • Pour the apple cider in a heavy bottom medium sized pot and bring to a full boil. Reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until it is reduced to about ¼ cup. It will become thicker and a bit syrupy. It took us around 45 minutes of cook time for this step.
  • Remove from the heat and add in butter, heavy cream, and sugar to the reduced apple cider.
  • Place back over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Boil until the temperature reaches 248°F. Do not stir while this boils.
  • Remove from heat and add cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to the caramel mixture. Carefully stir until smooth and creamy and it is no longer bubbling.
  • Pour caramel into your prepared pan. Sprinkle with a touch of salt. You can place in the refrigerator for about an hour to set, or let the caramel sit at room temperature for 2 - 3 hours.
  • Transfer the cooled caramels block to a cutting board. Use nonstick cooking spray oil a sharp knife and cut the caramels into 1" small squares. If your caramel sticks to the knife, put the caramel into the fridge for 15 minutes, then try again. I find the caramel cuts easier once it is cold.
