Homemade Caramel!

Yes, I know it is still hot outside, but September is the official "HELLO FALL!" month!

Even though we are still fanning and sipping sweet tea under a big shade tree,

just join with me for a moment...

When I think Fall, the first thing that comes to my mind are the delicious Fall treats like hot caramel corn, caramel apples with or without nuts, salted caramel chocolate chip cookies, caramel pretzels, caramel pecan turtles, caramel brownies... LOL!

You get where I am going with this! Well, I am going to give you a simple recipe so you can start your own Fall caramel treat obsession.

HOMEMADE CARAMEL SAUCE

Things needed:

1 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of heavy cream (room temperature)

6 tablespoons of melted salted butter (allow melted butter to cool to room temperature)

On low heat, warm a saucepan. In the saucepan, add sugar and turn heat to medium low. Begin stirring the sugar. Only allow the sugar to melt for a few second before stirring the sugar. The sugar will clump before melting.

Remember to constantly stir the sugar, be careful not to allow the sugar to burn.

When the sugar has melted remove from heat. Add the melted butter. Mixture should bubble. Place mixture on low heat, constantly stirring and making sure not to burn mixture.

Add heavy cream to the mixture, stir until all ingredients are well blended.

Set aside and allow to cool.

Drizzle over your favorite treat. Leftovers can be stored in container at room temperature for 4 to 6 months, but I promise you, you will eat it all before then!

ENJOY!
