Ingredients:
1 ½ cups of sugar
½ cup of honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (gluten free)
1 cup heavy organic grass-fed or raw whipping cream
6 tablespoons of unsalted organic grass-fed or raw butter
Coarse sea salt
*You will need a candy thermometer*
Directions:
1. Add sugar, honey, and vanilla extract in a large pot. (I use a 6 quart pot, this works well.)
2. Heat on medium for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. The sugar and honey melt together and start to caramelize turning a darker and darker shade of brown.
3. While the sugar is cooking, bring the cream to a simmer in another small pot.
4. After about 10 min, the sugar will have a nice caramel color. You can leave it in for a few additional minutes if you would like a deeper color. Remember, continuous stirring is the key here!
5. Whisk in the butter, small pieces at time, until it is all melted into the sugar and honey.
6. Add the cream that has been simmering, whisk until smooth.
7. Let the mixture cook on medium to medium-high until the temperature reaches 260F. This is when you will need a candy thermometer. Remember to keep stirring!
8. Pour the hot caramel into a large glass measuring cup. You can then easily pour over the lollipop molds or just onto the cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
9. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
10. Let caramel cool for a few hours. You can then peel the lollipops off of the paper or cut into small squares and enjoy!!
