The salted butter caramel

  1. Warm the water and glucose syrup in the microwave, mix.
  2. Heat the cream and vanilla pod (without the seeds) in the microwave.
  3. In a saucepan placed over medium heat, cook the sugar without stirring until the sugar is melted and starts cooking.
  4. Once the sugar has taken a caramel colour, add the hot vanilla cream and keep stirring until well combined.
  5. Then, add the maple syrup and Kiri® Professional in the saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  6. Remove from heat. Add 1/5 of the sugar and mix well.
  7. In a different saucepan, add the water and glucose syrup and the rest of the sugar. Heat over medium heat without stirring until the sugar is melted.

  9. Bring the mix to 115°C then add the butter and chopped almonds. Lastly, add the salt. Remove from heat.
  10. Transfer the caramel to a rectangle pan.
