HOLY MOLY!!! It's been forever since I've blogged! I've been super busy....well, I've been busy with school and just getting into a good balanced schedule. I actually made this quite a while back and let me just say it was not easy finding a good recipe....I ended up with a lot of wasted, not-so-tasty caramel sauces. One recipe was from a chef featured on Food Network (I swear their recipes are sometimes the worst ones I find)...I'm not going to name names because that's not what I want my blog to be about. You can see in the picture above...bad batch on the left (super bitter)...and good batch on the right (buttery caramely goodness). I finally found a good compromise between a bunch of recipes and came up with the recipe below. It worked out great for my caramel macchiatto cupcakes, on top of vanilla ice cream for a sweet treat...and even on top of bananas to make my day that much more unhealthy (but delicious!). Fair warning: caramelizing sugar is a process that happens VERY quickly, so you need to be ready with ALL your ingredients..and it boils hotter than water so you have to be VERY VERY careful to not burn yourself. Other than that, it's really easy! I wasn't able to get ALL the pictures I wanted of the process, because (again) the process happens very fast.
This is where you'd add your cream and it would bubble up like crazy....I didn't have enough hands to take that picture!
