Homemade Caramel

These are delicious! I believe I was given this recipe from my visiting teacher, Abbie (another reason to love visiting teachers!).

1 cup butter
2 1/4 cup brown sugar
dash of salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1 15 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Melt butter in a 3 quart heavy sauce pan, stir in brown sugar and salt; stir thoroughly. Add corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Cook and stir constantly over medium heat to firm ball stage (236 degrees or about 10-12 minutes). Remove from heat, add vanilla, pour into well-buttered 9x13 pan. After cooled cut and wrap in wax paper.

Happy candy making!
