Caramel Apples, ole timey style

Step 6Step 3 : Boiling and Cold testing

Now, you are waiting for enough water to boil out of your mixture. Keep on stirring. Maybe even pull up a chair. You can do the cold test on your caramel as often as you like. You may end up with a little less caramel, but it is a good thing to practice.

When you are able to make a ball with your caramel and the ball stays in a ball shape in your hand, you are done boiling. Turn off the stove and skewer your apples. You'll need to let the caramel cool only until it stops bubbling on its own.

The previous step says after it boils, you can stop stirring. This step says keep stirring. Which is correct?
