Five Fabulous Caramel Recipes - it seems that everyone loves caramel and these five delicious recipes never fail to produce rave reviews!
I was thinking of you the other day. I reallywas. We'd been out of town and didn't arrivehome until mid afternoon. Guests were coming for dinner and I didn't have much in the house, so I ran to the store. We'd decided tojust grill some burgers and make a nice salad, sincethere wasn't much time to get anything else together.
I picked up a carton of vanilla ice cream at the store, thinking I could throw together The World's Easiest Apple Crispfor dessert.Sometimes however, I seriously underestimate how much I can get done in a given amount of time. By the time I got home from the market,prepped the burgers for the grill and prepared the salad, the guests had arrived. Oops, so much for dessert, right?
But then, maybe not. I did have the ice cream and, as we were finishing up the meal, I rememberedan old friend of mine, this Ridiculously Easy Caramel Sauce. While Scott was clearing the table I pulled out the ingredients. By the time he finished and scooped up bowls of ice cream, I wasdone! Yes, that's how long it takes. And you should have heard the oohs, aahs and mmms from around the table.
Those oohs, aahs and mmms waswhat made me think of you. This recipe was a little culinary life saver for me (for the zillionth time) and I thought there just might be some of you who get in pinches like I do - some of you who just might need a delicious, super easy, 5-minute, magic trick up your sleeve like this Ridiculously Easy Caramel Sauce.
And now that I have you all in a caramel frame of mind ...
I thought I'd also share a few of other favorite recipessince fall officially arrived this weekhere in the U.S. After all, autumnand carameljust seem to go together like peas and their pods, don't you agree?
Vietnamese Caramelized Pork Salad Bowls - caramel can notonly star in savory dishes, it can be decentlyhealthy to boot! Oh, and crazy delicious. In fact, if you look up fresh and crazy delicious in the dictionary, you just might just see a picture of this fabulous dish. It's sweet, salty, spicy and FRESH all rolled into one!
Autumn Spiced Apple Cider Caramel Sauce - this one takes just a bit longer, but it's based off of the Ridiculously Easy Caramel Sauce recipe. Apple Cider is reduced to a syrup and from there it's easy peasy! I got this comment just a few days ago regarding the recipe:
I just finished cooking this sauce for a dinner party tonight. Let me just say, AMAZING!!!
This is the best caramel sauce I have ever, ever had! I will serve it over Muscat, ginger poached pears and ice cream.
Caramel Apple Buttermilk Muffins - holy schmoly, these guys are good! Such a winning combination of ingredients and I love how they rise up tall and are topped with a delicious buttery cinnamon crumble.
Easy Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Icing - fabulous cinnamon and walnut swirled sweet rolls with a to-die-for silky caramel drizzle. Start to finish in less than 2 hours - honest, I timed it!
Salted Caramel Pots de Creme - I know, I know, I said 5 BUT this one just couldn't be excluded. It's down-home (like a good old fashioned caramel pudding), but sophisticated (it’s a French classic) at the same time. Always a crowd pleaser, this dessert can be made ahead. Add a little dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of mint for agorgeous presentation!
So there you have our choice for Five Fabulous Caramel Recipes. You'll findmuch more in The Café archives (we'redefinitelycaramel aficionados), but we'll save those for another day.
