Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. 2 Bring cream, butter, vanilla bean seeds, and fleur de sel to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and set aside. 3 Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, taking care not to get excess on the sides of the pan. Ensure that the sugar is completely hydrated by mixing it with your fingers. Wash down the sides of the pot with a pastry brush dipped in water. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring. Once the mixture begins to darken around the edges, begin swirling the pot to even out the caramelization, until the caramel is a deep amber color. 4 Turn off the heat and carefully add the cream mixture (mixture will bubble up) and simmer. Once the bubbling calms down, return to low heat, stirring frequently, until caramel registers 250°F on thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into baking pan and cool 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch rectangles, then wrap each piece in a 4-inch square of wax paper, twisting 2 ends to close. For caramels that are a bit chewier, chill, for softer caramels, store in the fridge in a sealed plastic bag.

Food Joke

Directions Shlomo goes to see his psychiatrist. "Doctor, my wife Fay is being unfaithful to me. Every night, she goes to Palwin’s Wine Bar and picks up a man. She sleeps with anybody who asks her to. I`m going crazy with worry. What on earth should I do?" Relax," says the Doctor, "take a couple of deep breaths and try to calm down. Now, first of all tell me exactly where Palwin’s Wine Bar is."
