Original Recipe Yield 12 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the white sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil and heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
  2. Stir in the butter and heavy cream carefully - the mixture will bubble up. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Cool slightly before dipping apples or other fruit.
