Foolproof Caramel Sauce | Tuesday’s Tip of the Day!
The trick to making perfect foolproof caramel sauce is actually quite simple. First, measuring ingredients. Second, selecting your cookware. Third, following these steps below. Fourth, stop letting caramel sauce taunt, intimidate or overwhelm you! Quite often, we never even take steps to making caramel because we are too nervous to even begin the process. Before you think “I can’t do this,” think “Yes You Can!” Now that we have our sleeves rolled up and are ready to take on caramel, let’s step in the kitchen and get cook’n.
Tips:
- Patience! When making caramel sauce, it is important to be patient! It is also important to know that caramel can turn from “is anything happening” to “done” to “burnt, start over” in seconds. Literally!
- Commit! When stepping into the kitchen, commit yourself to the task at hand and don’t walk away!
- Follow the Directions. Yes, really! When the recipe says, “stop stirring,” stop stirring!
- Adding Cream: When adding the cream, yes it will bubble viciously but that’s part of the process. Remember, don’t let caramel frighten you. Stand your ground, whisk in hand…and don’t stop whisking!
- Storing: Caramel will thicken as it cools. Depending on the intended use, chilled caramel sauce can quickly be nuked in the microwave or over low heat in a small saucepan.
