- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
6-8
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter, salted
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup light cream (or half-and-half or milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter.
- Add brown sugar, cream and vanilla to sauce pan and whisk until combined.
- With a wooden spoon, stir constanty over medium heat until bubbly and thickened (8-10 minutes). The mixture will bubble and foam. The caramel sauce is ready when it coats the back of your spoon and resembles the thickness of gravy as it drizzles. If you have a candy thermometer available, the temperature I look for is 250-275°F.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am 33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We have a beautiful 5-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. I am amazed at how quickly our kids are growing and developing. I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as preservatives, hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc. With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed. I'm doing the best I can to protect my family from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive. I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p>
