Briar Gate Farm Goat Milk Caramels

January 31, 2020

Briar Gate Farm Goat Milk Caramels

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 1/2 cups goat milk
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (or Kahlua, Bourbon or something else yummy!)
  • Flaky sea salt, to finish. (Optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and honey in a large, heavy pot and begin heating on medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter has melted and all the ingredients are looking creamy.
  2. Add the goat milk and blend in well with the other mixture.
  3. Turn up the heat and keep stirring mixture constantly. When the mixture has evaporated to about 1/3 of the original volume and starts getting thicker and darker, start monitoring the temperature, continuing to stir and scrape the caramelizing mixture off the bottom of the pot.
  4. When temperature reaches 250 degrees F, remove pot from heat.
  5. Add vanilla extract or liqueur and stir until blended well into mixture.
  6. Pour into a buttered 8 x 8 baking dish. Sprinkle sea salt over caramel.
  7. Let cool 30-60 minutes, and then transfer, uncovered, to refrigerator. Chill several hours until firm before cutting.

* You can double this recipe and use a 9 x 13 inch pan. For the single recipe, a half-gallon pot will work. For the double recipe, use a gallon sized pot. The milk mixture expands as it’s heating so you need about twice as much space in your pot as the liquid takes up or you’ll make a sticky mess on your stovetop!
