Easy Maple Caramel Sauce
"This maple caramel sauce is so incredibly easy--only two ingredients! I originally made it to drizzle over smoked pork chops but quickly realized it could also be served over ice cream (or your favorite dessert). It's so buttery-smooth and decadent. Yum!"
- Ready In:
- 17mins
- Ingredients:
- 2
- Yields:
-
1/3 cup
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup maple syrup (real ONLY)
- 2 tablespoons butter, salted
directions
- Melt together maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stirring with a wooden spoon, cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens to the consistency of a smooth caramel sauce. If necessary, whisk to thoroughly incorporate melted butter.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. As it cools, a thin skin may form on top. Just stir it once more with your wooden spoon before drizzling over your food of choice.
- Left-overs can be refrigerated and re-heated for 20-30 seconds in the microwave--that is if you have any. :).

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>
