Cajeta Ice Cream Sundaes
"Super easy, super yummy dessert. I found the recipe in the March 2013 edition of Sunset magazine, and I had to try it. This dessert recipe comes from chef Silvana Salcido Esparza of the popular Barrio Café in Phoenix and the Barrio Queen in Scottsdale, Arizona. Cajeta can be found in most Latino markets; it's a rich caramel sauce that's sometimes--depending on manufacturer or favorite home recipe--flavored with cinnamon, raisins, ground nuts, or other such touches. It's considered a specialty of the city of Celaya in the state of Guanajuato, but it's commonly found throughout most regions of Mexico."

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
