Directions

  1. Combine the cream, brown sugar, and syrup in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. ≈ 4 min
  2. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally but not too much to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  3. Add the almonds just before the end, if you are using them. ≈ 3 min
  4. The caramel is ready when it reaches about 120 °C: check with a thermometer, or drop a small amount into a bowl of cold water – it should form a ball. ≈ 10 min
  5. Fill the molds using two teaspoons each, and let them set. ≈ 10 min
