Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 sticks butter, cut into pats
Method
- In a small saucepan combine the sugar, lemon juice, corn syrup and water.
- Bring the pot to a medium high heat.
- While doing this be careful not to swish the pan around because it could cause the sugar to recrystallize.
- As the sugar/water mixture boils the water will eventually evaporate and the sugar will begin to turn brown or to "caramelize".
- Pay close attention!
- Things can take a terrible turn for the worse here and there will be no recovery.
- As the sugar begins to turn a shade of golden, then light brown and then a slight shade of darker brown, remove it from the heat and add the heavy cream.
- As you do this, it will bubble up like crazy.
- Be sure to have a pot large enough to accommodate the bubbling up.
- Getting this on you could cause a very severe burn.
- Whisk the sugar/cream mixture until things settle down and add the butter 2 pats at a time, be sure the pats have completely incorporated before adding more butter.
- Let cool and put into jars.
- Keep for about 10 days
- Call yourself a Superstar!!
