directions

To make Caramel Sauce:
- Bring cream to just under a boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
- Combine sugar, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons water into a separate saucepan. (Be sure to use a heavy pan, such as a saucier) Place over medium heat, and, without stirring, bring to a simmer. (If sugar crystals form, dissolve with a wet pastry brush) Continue to cook while swirling the pan around until it becomes a deep caramel color, about 6 to 8 minutes (depending on the weight of the saucepan) let the color be your guide.
- Slowly add hot cream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. (Caution, mixture will spatter.).
- Cook 1 minute to dissolve caramel. Remove from heat.
- Stir in vanilla, kosher salt, and rum (if desired).
- Let cool. Store refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days; bring to room temperature before using.

This recipe earned three stars for me- mainly due to my own personal tastes and mistakes. The recipe sounded great, and I am a huge fan of caramel, so I wanted to splurge and enjoy. The caramel ended up way too hard, I guess I cooked it too long? My first time making caramel, so I don't know for sure. Since it wasn't a sauce consistency, I ended up with hard little bits of caramel in my milkshake. And I just didn't care for the banana and caramel together- and I thought I really would! Thanks for posting.
