Honey caramels melt in your mouth and make perfect Christmas gifts!!! The directions are as follows: 1 cup Liquid Gold (Honey) 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream 1 1/2 teaspoon of Vanilla 6 tablespoons of butter Heat and mix honey and cream in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat. Using an accurate thermometer heat to 275 F. As soon as the honey/cream reaches 275 F. remove from heat and then the vanilla and butter should be added. Stir all of the ingredients together well and pour into a buttered glass container. Place the caramels in a fridge to cool. We also store our candies in the refrigerator as well!
Try some vanilla pods instead of extract, it tastes even better, you can pop the empty pod in a jar of sugar to flavour that sugar for baking or flavoured whipped cream. You were talking of flavours of honey, I have a couple of large lavender gardens and the smell and flavour of lavender honey is awesome, mine is pre ordered by my customers and is sold out before it is even extracted, they cant get enough of it! you can make cuttings of the lavender to build up your patches, after a couple of seasons you can have pretty large patches and when the bees have finished with them you can make pot pouri and sell that, a small sample in a mesh bag taped to the side of a jar of lavender honey makes a great gift.
We appreciate your videos, my wife and I are Beekeepers in the northern most part of Georgia. My wife makes something very similar but we call it honey Taffy. She does the pulling and stretching thing like taffy and we wrap it like carmels in parchment paper. I like your idea of pecans and chocolate, that sounds delicious. Keep the videos coming. G's Bees Apiary.
Kamon, my wife and I are second year beekeepers. Last year we got just enough honey to make us want to do it again this year. Two weeks ago, we took four supers off of our two hives and got over 80# of honey. With a surplus like that, we started looking for recipes and found yours. Thanks so much. We made a double batch using your recipe today, lined the pan with buttered parchment, added some pecans and when it cooled, poured a little melted chocolate over some of them. My wife says the chocolate is a bonus, but I really like them plain. This is an easy recipe that comes out fantastic! Thanks again,
Hi Kamon. This will be an addition to my Christmas gifts. Homemade caramel, honey, vanilla, pignolli cookies and Sicilian Christmas cookies my Great Grandmother taught me to make. My family will be super happy. Merry Christmas
Yup I knew you looked at that thermometer tooo long to pass up the remnants stuck on it !!! Lol Will be trying this sweet delight for sure! May the Lord bless you and your family and bring you all into the new year safely!
I’ll be trying some tonight. Thanks for all of your helpful tips. My daughter travels the world for her work. She brings me honey for many different countries. It’s amazing the new tastes of honey.
Kamon I just made these I'm in Ireland have really good city honey. The best of butter and cream and I finished them with a dash of Irish Whiskey. Unreal. Happy Christmas to you Kamon, laurel and yer family Barry K.
I'm so trying this Kamon, thanks so much for making me laugh. Never thought of putting a load of butter on a rock. That chocolate caramel looked really mean :)
Merry Christmas to you and your family from us. Thank you so much for this video as well for all the other videos. Say merry christmas from us to your children as well.
Great video!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Loved the comment that "you can make a rock taste good if you put enough butter on it" - Wild Woods Wisdom gotta love it !!! Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Merry Christmas Kamon, Laurel and family! I make my homemade caramel and vanilla extract in an insta pot but will have to try the caramel with honey instead. Sounds delicious.
Lol yeah I love mine too. Use it everyday for something. Helps with the cleanup too because you can make it in the jars and it’s faster with less chance of burning
Hi. What size glass dish did you use on the video? I'm guessing it will determine the thickness of the candy. When you cut portions, is the mixture soft enough to shape?
@@lisadurham2545 I take a sheet pan with some parchment paper on it and make a little smear of chocolate on it and place 3 pecan halves on it, then I take a small piece of caramel and flatten it out and place on the pecans, then cover in chocolate. After I make 12 turtles on the sheet pan, I place the pan of turtles in a freezer to set the chocolate. This keeps the milkfat in the chocolate from gathering on the surface of the candy.
Hey Kamon, love caramels. Ask your lovely wife if she has had success doubling or even tripling the recipe? If so did she keep the ratio of ingredients the same? Thanks. Merry Christmas!
I’m not a good cook so this may be a stupid question. I have some crystallized honey I want to use in this recipe. Can I start with the honey as is or should I liquify it first?
Once they have cooled they can be rolled in parchment. If you are wanting to make the chocolate pecan caramels (like in the photo) or something similar you can pour it out right after all the ingredients have been mixed onto whatever it is you are making!
I just don’t want to be using a hammer to break it apart if I wait too long. So I guess it depends on the end temperature heated to, if it is easier, chewier to cut/eat.
All the enzimes have been killed by the high temperature, it tastes good but you might as well use white sugar. same nutrition value after being heated that high.
There is more to honey than just enzymes. This stuff tastes way better and different than sugar made caramel. Several reasons to make this. Honey should be used in cooking more.
@@kamonreynolds I just tried these and you can still taste the floral notes in the honey. But I have no idea how you got it to 275 F on medium heat. I could only get it to 210 F. I turned the heat up to 8, then got scared that I’d scorch it, so I took it off and poured. Tastes great!

Kamon Reynolds - Tennessee's Bees try adding an ounce of Tennessee Whiskey to your caramel. Instead of parchment paper use baking “silt pads”
Great video. Everybody needs to chime in "We need Laurel in a video". Great giggle. Sorry if I misspell her name.
Try some vanilla pods instead of extract, it tastes even better, you can pop the empty pod in a jar of sugar to flavour that sugar for baking or flavoured whipped cream.

Laurel, your giggle is contagious. Great additions to the audio. Thanks for the awesome recipe. Love switching honey for sugars.
She is a giggler not a talker for sure Merry Christmas!
@@kamonreynolds Merry Christmas. Hopefully, sometime is 2020 my wife and I can take a weekend trip and stop by.
Thank You Kamon and Laurel. We just made these and they are delicious! Have a Happy Holiday.
greeting windy, does the honey smell like caramel?

Yup I knew you looked at that thermometer tooo long to pass up the remnants stuck on it !!! Lol
Will be trying this sweet delight for sure! May the Lord bless you and your family and bring you all into the new year safely!
I’ll be trying some tonight. Thanks for all of your helpful tips. My daughter travels the world for her work. She brings me honey for many different countries. It’s amazing the new tastes of honey.
Nothing like Captain America making candy. We're definitely going to give it a try. Merry Christmas.

I think this would be a good give away!!! Hi Laurel, I think you should do a video!!
Great video!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Loved the comment that "you can make a rock taste good if you put enough butter on it" - Wild Woods Wisdom gotta love it !!! Merry CHRISTmas!!!
Yeah her Dad is from the smokey mountains and he loves butter! Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the recipe it is the best Carmel my family has ever had,plus have of my town too.
Your welcome sounds like you have been busy! Merry Christmas Jen
@@kamonreynolds yes I've been busy. Marry Christmas to you and you family too.
We tried out this recipe today and it was a big hit. Another reason we need to increase honey production next. Thank you for another great video!
I just ate a bunch myself! They are very delicious and my daughter Kathleen loves eating them with apples (so do I)
We will give it a try on apples.
Merry Christmas Kamon, Laurel and family! I make my homemade caramel and vanilla extract in an insta pot but will have to try the caramel with honey instead. Sounds delicious.
Laurel loves her instant pots perhaps we should try to make some in it. Merry Christmas Lynn!
Lol yeah I love mine too. Use it everyday for something. Helps with the cleanup too because you can make it in the jars and it’s faster with less chance of burning
Can you post your insta-pot caramel recipe?
Yes. Let me get it out and I’ll post it here
I just made a batch!! Took a little over 20 min for me to get it to come up to 275, but maybe I didn't start with the burner high enough.
Hi. What size glass dish did you use on the video? I'm guessing it will determine the thickness of the candy. When you cut portions, is the mixture soft enough to shape?
Thank you! I found a bucket of honey I forgot to bottle
Loved the video!!! Just made 4 batches of Caramels, a few dozen turtles and a batch of caramel corn. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! :-)
How do you make the turtles?
@@lisadurham2545 I take a sheet pan with some parchment paper on it and make a little smear of chocolate on it and place 3 pecan halves on it, then I take a small piece of caramel and flatten it out and place on the pecans, then cover in chocolate.

@@esauer1014 Thank you Ed I had never seen these, not a thing in Wales but will try!
Just checking 275 F is correct as other recipes say 245 or 250?
@@lisadurham2545 I cook my caramels to 240°
if you put enough butter a little salt a little red pepper flakes on it you can make an old learther boot taste good also,, great video
Going to give this a try today.
The best!!!! thanks yall!!
Thank you, gotta try this.
Looks delicious! You are killing me with this recipe. I will have to try it!
Beautiful recipe! Thank you
Kamon you and Laurel with her giggles make me laugh.
Thanks.
I cant wait to make this! thank you so much for sharing !! Loral: I make my own vanilla too! its super easy
Boy I bet that vanilla is excellent we will have to do that. Laurel has been meaning to but I keep that poor girl so busy
Thanks Laurel!
Come on Laurel, a turtle!! Step it up, make caramel honeybees 😎😎😎
Thanks !!
Love your videos bud!!
Hey Kamon, love caramels. Ask your lovely wife if she has had success doubling or even tripling the recipe? If so did she keep the ratio of ingredients the same? Thanks. Merry Christmas!
Hello Tom.
This is Laurel. I have cut this recipe in half, doubled it and I think one time tripled it and it worked great every time. :-)
Butter YES... Honey Good
Butter good!
After the honey cools do you turn it out on the counter then cut it in order to wrap it in parchment paper?
Hey Karla yeah we let it cool then we spoon it out and roll it. At least I think that is what Laurel does. I'll ask
Sweets and Giggles,,,,,,,, SWEET !!!
Kamon, I drag my knuckles too. No matter what it looks like going in it generally looks the same coming out...lol.
Sweet
10 001. Bravo. Kepp the good work. MEDNO! from croatia
Loved the video I'm hoping to make some in the near future ♥️ I also subscribed to your channel we also live in TN
How do you get it in the parchment paper to store or give away.
I'm curious about that too. Do they use a sharp knife to cut the candies?
I’m not a good cook so this may be a stupid question. I have some crystallized honey I want to use in this recipe. Can I start with the honey as is or should I liquify it first?
I imagine it will de crystalize as it is quick enough to work BUT I have no experience with it.
I would think it should liquify well before it reaches the temperature for this recipe. Maybe just take it a bit slow on the warm up.
How and when on the setup do you cut the caramels apart?
Once they have cooled they can be rolled in parchment. If you are wanting to make the chocolate pecan caramels (like in the photo) or something similar you can pour it out right after all the ingredients have been mixed onto whatever it is you are making!
I just don’t want to be using a hammer to break it apart if I wait too long. So I guess it depends on the end temperature heated to, if it is easier, chewier to cut/eat.
It's kinda funny how this dude looks like ray liotta from the bee movie and has a TH-cam channel about bees and honey
I’m making this!!! How many caramels does one batch make usually?
Goodness I don't know I usually just eat them.
What size of buttered pan.
Have you tried wrapping in wax paper?
I just posted a video about making creamed honey. I think a little salt in your caramel would blow your mind 😋
salted butter or unsalted butter?
Hey Bee Bob. Whichever you prefer!
pls kindly anwer, anyone, does cooked honey would taste "caramel"?
Salted or unsalted butter
Either or but I prefer salted
kamon
put this freezer or refrig. S video said freezer recipe say frig. having hard time removing from buttered dish.
Just cover it up and set it on the counter till it warms up. Should be able to handle it from there
