Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare Your Station: Line a 13x9 inch high-rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Generously coat the parchment or foil with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine and Heat: In a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pan, combine the fresh carrot juice, sugar, honey, and kosher salt. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. (Cook time: 4-5 minutes)

03

Step

Achieve Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer to the pan, ensuring the bulb is fully immersed in the candy mixture. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C). Monitor closely as the temperature will rise rapidly in the final minutes. (Cook time: 20-25 minutes)

04

Step

Monitor and Manage Foam: Watch the mixture closely as it foams up. If the foam threatens to overflow the pan, stir vigorously to reduce it. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect honeycomb texture.

05

Step

Incorporate Vanilla and Baking Soda: Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Working quickly, add the sifted baking soda and whisk gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the bubbles.

06

Step

Pour and Cool: Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to transfer all of the candy. Do not spread the mixture out; it's perfectly fine if the surface is uneven. Allow the toffee to cool completely until set. (Cooling time: approximately 1 hour)

07

Step

Break and Store: Once the toffee is fully set, break it into irregular pieces. Store the Carrot Honeycomb Toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed carrot juice. Avoid store-bought juices with additives.
Sifting the baking soda ensures even distribution and prevents clumps in the toffee.
Keep a close eye on the temperature during the final stages of cooking to prevent burning. The color should be a deep amber.
If you do not have parchment paper or foil, you can grease the baking pan very well with butter instead. Make sure the butter covers every part of the pan.
This toffee is best enjoyed within a week for optimal crispness.
