Delicious Pumpkin Spice Caramels


Fall is such a lovely time of year to start making your favorite goodies.  These caramels are so yummy.  They do melt in your mouth.  You can keep them out at room temperature for awhile. To keep longer, refrigerate them.  Let them sit out for a little while to soften up abit. The little  pumpkin is from our garden.

The base is apple cider with some pumpkin spice and cinnamon.

Pumpkin Spice Caramels

These chewy soft treats melt your melt with a sweet flavor of apple cider and pumpkin spice.
prep time: cook time: 60 MINStotal time: 60 mins

INGREDIENTS:


  • 2 quarts apple cider
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter,  diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • canola oil for brushing.

INSTRUCTIONS: (You need a candy thermometer)


  1. In a large saucepan, simmer the apple cider over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 cup, about 1 hour. Pour the reduced cider into a bowl.
  2. Line a 9-by-13-inch rimmed pan with foil and coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and condensed milk and bring to a simmer over moderate heat; keep the mixture warm over low heat
  3. In another large saucepan, combine the sugar with the reduced apple cider, corn syrup, water and salt and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Carefully whisk in the butter until melted. Gradually whisk in the warm cream mixture until incorporated. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring frequently, until a golden caramel forms and the temperature reaches 245° on a candy thermometer, about 45 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice and scrape the caramel into the prepared pan. Let cool completely, then refrigerate the caramel overnight.
  4. Lightly brush a sheet of parchment paper with oil. Invert the caramel onto the parchment and peel off the foil. Using a sharp knife, cut the caramel into 1-inch-wide strips,  then cut the block crosswise into 1/2-inch rectangles. Wrap each caramel in a square of parchment paper or a candy wrapper and twist the ends to seal. Serve or pack the caramels into boxes.

Usually I cut my parchment paper into strips, however I did a search for twisting paper.  Amazon Prime has 100 for $6.21...Free shipping and a two day delivery time.

  15. Hello Linda! I just noticed that you came to my blog post the other day! Thank you. I hardly check my blog anymore since I lost so many commentors. That is strange that you no longer get my blog in your notifications; I hope that explains perhaps why I don't get the same traffic I used to?Oh well, that's life in Blogland. I hope you are enjoying your fall! I AM! Hugs to you!
