Apple skin caramel

What better way to use up excess apple skins than to turn them into caramel? Apple skins infuse the caramel with a subtle floral aroma.

Ingredients

  • 5 apples, skins only
  • 300 ml thickened cream
  • 300 g caster sugar
  • 50 g unsalted butter, diced
  • vanilla bean ice cream, to serve
You will need to start this recipe 1 day ahead.

Instructions

  1. Place the apple skins in a saucepan and cover with 250 ml (1 cup) of the cream. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Stand until cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight to infuse.
  2. The following day, reheat the mixture over low heat until the cream loosens off the apple skins. Pass through a sieve, pressing down on the skins to extract as much cream from the skins as possible. Discard the skins.
  3. Weigh the cream and if necessary, top up with the remaining cream so that you have 200 g.
  4. Place the sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally until melted. Once it reaches a dark golden colour, pour in the apple skin cream to stop the cooking. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the butter until emulsified.
  5. Strain into a jug and serve warm or cold. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
