Homemade Carmel

First off, before I get to the recipe, I just want to apologize to everyone for not blogging these past couple of days. We didn't have any internet and so I couldn't. Finally last night they got it to working.

Milking update - Bella has not been as good as she was on day one. She is kicking now. But she didn't kick this morning as much as she did last night. Amena is getting better at standing still. She's not falling down every time I milk her. Keci, good ol' Keci will just climb on the stand and eat her food. I have been touching her udder while she is on there and she doesn't kick at all! Maybe I'll have a prize milker here. Ok, on to the recipe!

Homemade Carmel
2 cups 1/2 and 1/2 (or 1 cup whole milk and 1 cup cream)
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup butter
4 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cup corn syrup
4 tsp vanilla

Butter a large pot.  Stir together butter, brown sugar, 1 cup of the half and half, and 1 cup of the whipping cream.  Bring the mixture to a boil.  Add in the remaining ingredients and cook and stir until the temp reaches 240.  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.  Pour into the greased 9x13.  Cool and cut into small squares.

Love,
  Rachel
