I love cider

This: 




Woodchuck cider is the nectar of the gods. I love it. So much that I saw this recipe, and had to try it. 



Here is my revised recipe, as I royally screwed it up. 


Ingredients:

2 cups Woodchuck Hard Cider
1/4 tsp apple pie spice (or sprinkle or cinnamon/allspice because you can’t find the nutmeg)
4 tbs of butter    
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbs heavy cream (or whole milk? I still don’t know how it came out yet.)
1 tsp sea salt (Kosher salt?)

Directions:

In a sauce pan add hard cider and bring to a boil. Forget to reduce down1/4 a cup. Sorry.

Mix in sugars, butter, heavy cream and spices. Over medium heat bring up to about 252 degrees on your candy thermometer. Or take like 4 seconds to clear the stove when it’s about 218 and accidentally cook it to 290.

Immediately remove from heat and pour into a silicone baking mat.

Sprinkle with sea salt and allow to cool until hardened.

With a very sharp buttered knife, cut caramels into 1 inch squares.



This is my caramel blob. I’m scared. It should taste good?



When it hardens, I will give you an updated picture. Until then? I’m sorry.
