What You Need
  • 200gms honey
  • 25gms vanilla paste
  • 400gms sugar
  • 125gms unsalted butter cut into eight pieces
  • 1.5 teaspoons of sea salt (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 3oomls pure pouring cream
  • Note: You will need a candy thermometer for this recipe
What You Do
  1. Line a square cake tin with baking paper making sure the paper reaches up the sides of the tin. Fill the sink with hot soapy water ready to soak your dirty dishes. Combine honey, vanilla and sugar in a large saucepan. Place on medium heat stiring until sugar and honey have melted. Once the sugar is melted let the mixture come to a boil. Boil without stiring until the mixture becomes a dark caramel brown colour. Place the cream in the microwave for 60 seconds until it's just warm.
  2. When the caramel is dark brown remove it from the heat and whisk in butter pieces one at a time. Whisk in salt. Slowly pour in warmed cream and whisk until smooth. Return to heat, insert a candy thermometer and boil caramel until it reaches 260F (hard ball). Be careful as the mixture will bubble and spit during this phase.
  3. Carefully pour hot caramel into the lined cake tin and let it cool for 10 minutes. Once the caramel has cooled, sprinkle liberally with coarse sea salt. When the caramel reaches room tempterature cut into sticks or squares and wrapped in baking paper wrappers.
