Hi Everyone. Slight change of plans. I will not be at the Cottin's Hardware Farmers Market today. If there is a flavor you are wanting and cannot make the Saturday market, please reach out, and I'm happy to meet you at any grocery store in Lawrence to get it to you. Thank you for your understanding.

Fun and/or interesting (you decide) facts about my caramel.

It takes *forever* for it to reach 220°F but once it is at 230° I have to hover over it, or it'll burn before I can blink.

On bright sunny days it cooks up so much faster because I'm not also cooking off moisture in the air. Because of that, it can sometimes reach the right consistency before it gets to the rich caramel color.

The caramel is a high-fat recipe (I'm sorry to disappoint you, it is not, in fact, a vegetable 😉) with high quantities of heavy cream and butter, so it doesn't seem to be as "sticky" as others that like to stay with your teeth.

I've been making a version of this recipe since about 2011, and spent several years adjusting ratios and ingredients to get it to what it is now. I had a lot of very willing taste testers along the way!

This week I'll have all 11 flavors and the variety packs are back; they will have all but the Chai Spice flavor in them. Stop by Cottin's Hardware Farmers Market Thursay 4-6:30 pm and the Lawrence Farmers Market Saturday 7:30-11:30 am to grab yours!
