http://ift.tt/1QSMnL0 Is caramel the new chocolate? That is what some foodie fortune tellers are saying, and the surging popularity of Latin American dulce de leche only helps the cause. The gooey goodness of caramel possibly dates back to the 17th century American colonists, but the sweet treat became more common in 19th-century America. Most sugar junkies might be surprised to learn that Milton Hershey started his candy empire with caramel, not chocolate, and he only got into chocolate after using it to envelope his caramel treats.
In the early days, caramel production typically involved a master confectioner carefully cooking the milk, oil, salt, butter, beet sugar (less pricey than regular sugar back then) and other ingredients in large copper pots directly over gas flames, and then cooling the treats on a marble slab and cutting it into squares. Today, would-be confectioners can switch the copper pot for the green pot and make deliciously infused caramel candies right at home. In the latest episode of Smoking Pot, PRØHBTD tells you how.
EQUIPMENT:
Large Pot Medium Pan Cooling Pan
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Heavy Cream 1 Tbsp Vanilla 4 Ounces Cannabis Butter 1/2 Cup Honey Pinch Sea Salt Flakes (as a topping)
Add the sugar, honey and vanilla to the pot. Mix and heat until it starts to turn color. While this is heating up, warm the cream in a separate pan. Turn off the heat and whisk in the warm cream. Add the cannabis butter. Mix together and cook until it reaches 248°F. Next, pour the mixture into a non-stick pan and place it in the fridge. After it cools, it will turn into a spreadable caramel sauce! We spread it on cookies, you can have it on a spoon, on ice cream, on fruit… it’s addictive so be careful!!
bon appetit
