Make your own caramels for candy apples. I don't know how long it takes to cook this to 244°-my time is approximated (a guess).
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 3/4 cups white corn syrup
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, 1 cup of the cream, syrup and butter in a large kettle.
2. Boil for 20 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup of cream gradually (do not allow to stop boiling).
3. Cook to 244° on a candy thermometer or until firm ball forms when small amount is dropped in cold water.
4. Add vanilla.
5. Pour into greased 9x13-inch pan.
6. Cool, cut and wrap.
