EASY MICROWAVE CARAMELS RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT



Easy Microwave Caramels Recipe: How to Make It image

These caramels were "homework" for a candy-making class that I took some time ago...and I've repeated that assignment over and over since! I usually make an extra batch and freeze it for company or last-minute gift-giving. After only about 20 quick seconds in the microwave, the frozen caramel is soft enough to cut, wrap and pack into a candy jar.

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 0 minutes

Yield about 2-3/4 lbs.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup unsalted butter
2-1/3 cups (1 pound) brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup light corn syrup
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Steps:

  • In 2-qt. microwave-safe pitcher, combine the butter, sugar, syrup, milk and salt. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring once after every minute. When butter is melted, stir well. Attach microwave candy thermometer. Microwave on high for about 8 minutes or until mixture reaches 245° (firm-ball stage). No stirring is needed. Remove from microwave; stir in vanilla and walnuts. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring well several times. Pour into buttered 13x9-in. pan (smaller 11x7-in. pan yields thicker candy as shown in photo). Refrigerate until cool. Invert pan. Carefully tap out whole block of candy; cut in squares. Wrap in waxed paper and store in refrigerator. (Can also freeze.)

EASY MICROWAVE SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Easy Microwave Scalloped Potatoes Recipe - Food.com image

This came from a recipe book given to me by my grandmother-in-law. I like it because it cooks in about 1/2 the time of regular (oven) scalloped potatoes, and tastes basically the same. Great for weeknights when time is at a premium, or if you have no room in the oven. (Note, I noticed other recipes for scalloped potatoes call for cheese or other ingredients - this is scalloped potatoes like my mom used to make, basically just white sauce and potatoes. We always eat ours with lots of ketchup on top!)

Total Time 40 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 35 minutes

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons margarine or 3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 -6 medium potatoes, sliced
1 small onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Put margarine (or butter) into LARGE glass bowl, and microwave on High for 1 minute, or until melted. (If you really like cleaning your microwave, feel free to use a smaller bowl.).
  • Blend in flour, salt & pepper. Gradually stir in milk.
  • Microwave on High 8-10 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.
  • Layer half the potatoes and onion in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half the prepared sauce, then the rest of the potatoes and onion, then the rest of the sauce.
  • Cover and microwave on High 20 minutes, or until done. (Cooking times will depend on the strength of your microwave; I think ours is in the 1,200-watt range, and 20 minutes usually works just fine for us).
