Caramel sauce

I found a super easy recipe for caramel sauce.

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup of water
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter

Bring sugar, water, and lemon juice to a boil over medium heat. Do not stir. Wait for it to become a deep amber colour. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in cream. It will bubble vigorously. Stir in butter.

Enjoy! It made about 2 cups of delicious caramel sauce which now sits in my fridge.

You can warm up apple juice (an apple blend drink is better because it's less sweet) and put in some caramel sauce. Add some cinnamon and it makes a wonderful winter drink to cozy up with.

It starts off white-ish


Then the mixture becomes clear


Getting there..


Deep Amber.. actually.. I over did it a little.
