Just over 2 years ago, I shared my tried and true soft caramel recipe, and today it’s still one of the main “sweets” recipes I reach for around the Holidays. This year I have a few recipe tweaks, new imagery and a fancy, schmancy printable recipe card to accompany this gem of a recipe!   When people see that I’ve made caramel, I often get the comment, “Wow–Caramel is hard to make! How’d you do it?” While caramel-making does take some attention to detail, the only real sticky part about it (pun intended!) is making sure the caramel doesn’t burn. And with constant stirring and a watchful eye on the candy thermometer, you pretty much can’t go wrong. So, I hope that if you have the interest in making caramel, you shake off those “intimidated by caramel” vibes and jump right in with this recipe. Your family and friends will thank you.     Follow

Simply put; I just really enjoy the process. Everything from the ideation to the construction, I love the design challenges and the satisfaction of having something tangible to show for my time. It makes it all the more rewarding too, knowing that the recipient can actually use or enjoy the end result–and I made it! Knowing that I wanted to make gifts this year, I came up with a strategy, a schedule of sorts, mid-way through October as to when and how I could make them, so that I wouldn’t be overwhelmed and overloaded with my hands thrown up in the air at the eleventh hour.  I did my best to stick to the schedule, and it helped me keep my eye on the prize throughout the fall. In case you missed a post, or are just finding Francois et Moi, below is a collection of the gifts I made this year… From left to right, top to bottom: a. Indigo Tea Towels, b.  Lavender Sachets, c. Salted Bourbon Caramels, d. Vanilla Extract, e. Paperwhite […]
