Hot dog.
Meanwhile, last night Tim moved the entire living room around and this place looks fantastic. To celebrate, I got vanilla ice cream and made homemade caramel sauce.
Formula is super easy. I use all organic because it's yummy.
80g brown sugar (about 1/2 cup once lightly pressed)
30g good unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
2oz. double cream (heavy cream/whipping cream)
Melt and bring to a boil for a minute or two, while whisking as it goes. For a thicker sauce, remove from heat and let stand a few minutes. Sauce reheats nicely in microwave or over hot water. Not sure how long it keeps, as I've never had it in the house longer than 24 hours.
Here's my other post with picture of caramel popcorn.
Enjoy!

Very nice, give Wiggy a pat aswell.
ReplyDeleteWill do, Lurker. Have a groovy day :-)
ReplyDeleteoh baby, Love that caramel sauce, especially paired with vanilla ice cream!! Have a great week Ivy!
ReplyDeleteIf you could send Tim over here to redesign our house that would be nice - I need to find more room to squeeze in my stuff before Rachel gets trapped under a toppling pile of DVDs ;)
ReplyDeleteLo-Mo: It is so good. I didn't let mine rest because I wanted it all melty melty, but man alive, that's good eats.
ReplyDeleteI have a wee bit left in the fridge. Think I'll make a caramel mocha with it later.
Num num num.
Flea: We usually turn our living room around twice per year. I had planned on doing it while he was out with the guys all Saturday but my body said, noppers. You gotta rest.
I haven't been to your Doctor Who posts because I'm trying not to see what happens until we catch up with the last of the season we're on now.
Big Hello to Rachel :-)
YUM! i am going to try that, love caramel sauce
ReplyDeleteyummy
ReplyDeleteWhile you're not looking, I'll help myself to that ice cream and caramel sauce.
ReplyDeleteYou threw me with the double cream... i guess i'll have to try that with Heavy Cream here in the states...
ReplyDeleteBrad: It's really good sauce but I like it best using all organic ingredients.
ReplyDeletePierce: Nice to see you. Been awhile.
William: Help yourself. I made extra.
BigMike: My bad. I'll go back and write both ways.
So brown sugar makes caramel? I never knew.
ReplyDeleteAlex: Really kicks it up a notch. Great the next day, too. And yummy in caramel mocha ice cream shakes. Num num num.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really tasty and the all organic part is right up my alley...no chance it's low fat though, right?
ReplyDeleteChuck: 34g of fat per batch.
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer melty caramel to overly chewy as well, I may have to attempt to make some of this sauce the next time I have icecream around that isn't "popsicle" or "drumstick" variety.
ReplyDeleteDocStout: Love to hear how it works out for you. I love this sauce on popcorn. Oh my gosh, it's so nummy. It's not bad on raw apples, either. So many good things.
ReplyDeleteLooks tasty!
ReplyDeleteI'd do more chores about the place if that were the reward too. That's a lot of good food info in the sidebar too - it's too much, I can't take it!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so good - thanks for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteBard: It's yummy. Though once I tried making it with lighter cream and Icksville City.
ReplyDeletePorky: Rewards are good.
Susan: Sure thing.
when I saw the title of your post I thought, Yum, I love dessert. And caramel sauce is perfect with vanilla icecream. Like the easy recipe, too!
ReplyDeletemshatch: It is super duper easy. Stores well overnight in a glass container. But the caramel popcorn doesn't sit as well overnight.
ReplyDeleteThat looks super yummy. I wish I'd had some for a treat last night. Or tonight. Or tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteSusan: I hope you make some soon. Goes good on apple spice cupcakes, too.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than homemade caramel sauce. I love making it with banana slices.
ReplyDeleteMiss Holly: Love it with nanners. We had those last night, as well. Num num num.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious Ivy, do you have a chocolate sauce recipe? =)
ReplyDeleteTodd: Funny you should ask, I was just talking about chocolate sauce with Tim. A girl at work makes her own and I want to give it a go. Will get the recipe from her next time I see her. She's the one that also gave me the doggy treat recipe. Good stuff, playing in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYou have a real talent there! Its an art form, some draw, some write, some cook. Some do more than one! =)
ReplyDeleteTodd: Thanks for the kind words. Cooking for me, is much the same as writing. Lots of time, patients, fun and rewrites.
