Caramel Sauce!

…As Promised

In my last post, Date Muffins, I used this recipe for Caramel Sauce. It’s a gorgeous flavor that can be used not just for the Date Muffins, but also for anything your little heart can think of.

I love to use it for the Date Muffin recipe, it’s just the right blend of gooey mess and gorgeous rich caramel.

The concentrated flavor of the evaporated milk is what makes this a winner. It takes a devoted 45 minutes to an hour to make but well worth every minute.

I’m a fairly picky person when it comes to certain caramels, the deepness of the flavor, the thickness or thinness of the drizzle and the amber coloring. So when I was making it, I found myself stretching my neck over the saucepan and peeking in to see, to my delight, this silky, perfectly thick, gooey, drizzly caramel. Ahh yes, it was ready.

I’m thinking about the many ways myself that I can use this recipe…and oh the possibilities! One that I’m going to enjoy shortly, as a wee bit of “COME ON” to autumn, is as a dip for my apples!

    Tried the recipe and doubled the quantity, added half a teaspoon sea salt and also a teaspoon of bourbon vanilla flavour. Turned out great and was really easy to prepare.
