Homemade Sea Salt Caramels | These are amazing caramels! When Caitlin and I were in San Francisco last month, we stopped in the Ferry Building along the Embarcadero. It was around 11:00 a.m. and, even though had lunch plans in an hour, we thought it would be fun to wander through the marketplace. We shared a sorbet from the Ciao Bella stand and then went across the hall to a small food store to find (something else) to hold me over until lunch. At the checkout stand, there was a tin bin, filled with several varieties of caramels. When we had gone to Santa Fe, I posted a cornbread recipe inspired by that trip.
