Is caramel the new hot fudge? It is in our kitchen! This is easy to make and really tasty. Goes great on some ice cream, but we think you can try it drizzled on other goodies too. Maybe some banana bread or pound cake? Yum!

How To Make caramel sauce
Test Kitchen Tips
You may want to use a larger pan because this does tend to bubble up when boiling and when you add the cream. Much easier to clean up that way!
-
Step 1In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add sugar and lemon juice and cook stirring constantly 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture turns a deep caramel color.
-
Step 2Gradually add cream and cook stirring constantly for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Remove from heat and cool.
-
Step 3Pour into hot sterilized jars and seal. Chill.
-
