A useful article, and that many younger folks may not have considered using the tails. (I always include full sprigs when making stock, for example.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to get hard caramel on top of a tarte tatin, as the apples give off juice during cooking, which combined with the heat and the butter, liquefies the caramel that forms.
One of the only possibilities I can see would be to place a thin disc of caramel on top of the tart once it has been turned out, which would have been cooked separately and in advance.
A thin disc of caramel, or broken caramel for that matter, would be easier to make.

I think that some time I tried a home made tart tatin that had a tiny bit of hard dark caramel on top. Is that possible? I love the memory, but I tried making this recipe a few times already varying things like sugar temperature, when to add the apples, when to add the butter... and I am thinking that it can't be done and maybe I'm misremembering...
Or maybe you can suggest some way to accomplish that hard caramel?

Adding a little flour will make the soup a little thicker, as the flour acts a little like a roux.

Why is the flour needed? I hear some people like it there, others hate it...

Yes, but it's a caramel, the color is a very easy indicator that you can adjust to your taste too.
If you want to use a thermometer anyway, a caramel start at 160°C (checkout cooking sugar).

It would be useful to have the temperature of the sugar at stage 6. I guess that if we don't cook the sugar enough the tart will turn into a soup...

I shall certainly try this - it looks delightful. I have often used the dandelion leaves in a mixed salad, but never made this jelly!
(And we have plenty of dandelions today!)
