Recipe by becky
Chewy rosemary sea salt caramels made from granulated sugar, butter, and rosemary-infused whipping cream, finished with a generous sprinkling of coarse sea salt.
Nonstick spray, for greasing tin
240 milliliters whipping cream (1 cup)
70 grams unsalted butter (5 tablespoons)
2 6-inch sprigs fresh rosemary
6 grams fine sea salt (1 teaspoon)
400 grams granulated sugar (2 cups)
60 grams light corn syrup (3 tablespoons)
80 milliliters water (1/3 cup)
1-2 drops pure food grade rosemary oil (see notes)
Coarse sea salt or flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Line an 8 x 8-inch square baking tin with parchment, allowing a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Spray with nonstick spray.
In a small saucepan, warm whipping cream and rosemary sprigs. Remove from heat and infuse for 20 minutes. With kitchen tongs, remove the rosemary.

Rewarm cream over low heat. Add butter and fine sea salt, stirring until the butter melts.

In a separate medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, without stirring, until mixture resembles honey, about 15 minutes, or 290° F (143° C) on a candy thermometer. Swirl the pan occasionally to keep the caramel moving.

Remove from heat. Pour warm cream over caramel, then wait a few seconds for the bubbles to subside.

Cook over medium heat until temperature reaches 255-260° F (124°-127° C) on a candy thermometer.*

Remove from heat. Swirl in the food grade rosemary oil.

Immediately pour into prepared tin. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt or flaky sea salt.

Allow to sit, uncovered, until caramel sets, about 6-8 hours, or overnight.
Lifting by the parchment edges, remove the caramel slab and place on a large cutting board. Peel away the parchment. With a sharp, well-oiled chef’s knife, cut caramel into squares or rectangles.


Wrap caramels in squares of parchment. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

*250° F (120° C) offers a good baseline temperature benchmark for caramels. I often cook mine to somewhere in the 255 – 260° F range, for a slightly firmer caramel. It may take a bit of experimenting to find the temperature that works best for you. For this batch, I cooked my caramel to 258° F (125° C); my finished caramels were chewy rather than gooey, but still soft enough to slice easily with a sharp knife.
