Cranberry Or Pineapple Caramels - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped cranberries
1 cup white sugar
1 cup corn syrup (such as Karo(R))
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup butter

Preparation

Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Combine cranberries, sugar, corn syrup, and salt in a heavy, large saucepan; bring to a boil. Heat to 245 degrees F (118 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface, 20 to 30 minutes.
Gradually stir cream and butter into cranberry mixture, keeping the boil steady. Cook until 245 degrees F (118 degrees C) is reached again, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Cool caramel in pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Remove caramel from pan, cut, and wrap individually or serve from pan.
