2. Place powdered gelatin in a small bowl and add water, allow the gelatin to bloom

1. Blood orange caramel
2. Place orange juice, 1/4 cup water, and 2 tbs sugar into small pan. Heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is boiling.
3. Remove from heat and cover
4. Place remaining water, sugar, and corn syrup in large pot. Turn heat to medium and cover for 4 min.
5. Remove cover and turn up heat. Watch as the sugar boils. You are waiting for the bubbles to become large and the color to change.
6. Once the sugar turns golden brown swirl the pan to keep the heat evenly distributed. Don't overcook the caramel!
7. If you have a candy thermometer you are looking for 345 degrees. Turn off heat and remove to non hot surface.
8. Carefully pour in orange juice mixture. It might splatter so be careful!
9. Stir to dissolve all the caramel. If needed reheat a little. Caramel will thicken as it cools.
