This is a delicious carmel sauce! My only suggestion would be to cook it to about 225 or 230 (no more) as I like it a little thicker. It was very easy to make and complimented my apple crisp ala mode quite nicely.

This is a wonderful recipe! Easy to do and it comes out a very good consistancy for drizzing on apples as a treat. I have served it for my ladies Bible studies and Moms club and they all loved it. I have modified it to use all organic ingredients.
