Hello world! before anything I am going to introduce myself, my name is Alba but everybody know me as Albita and I am a very proud mamma of a beautiful 5 month old baby boy and a wife!.
I wanted to start my own food blog months ago but my occupations as a new mommy didn't let me, but here I am!. I really love to bake and cook anything that cross my mind!. I am fan of desserts and Italian cook... also I have to add that I learn to bake by reading and trying recipes, Of course I have to practicing by trial and error but it totally worth it. Now I have been writing my own recipes that I am so exited to share with you!.
My first recipe is a homemade salted caramel sauce that you can eat straight of the jar (like me), on top of a big scoop of ice cream, in a warm apple pie o wherever you want!
Who doesn't love the luscious texture of a good caramel sauce? well I have to start sharing with you guys that I am a fan! I looove to make caramel sauce, when I was a beginner in the fantastic baking world, the first sauce recipe that I tried was a basic caramel sauce but that wasn't turned out very well... it was a disaster in fact!, I ended up with a bunch of dirty sauce pans and a hard and burned caramel... totally my inexpert way of make things,and a bad recipe,but the truth is that is not too hard. I'm going to show you guys how to make this wonderful sauce foolproof with no mistakes, and of course a tasty flavor!.
The ingredients are just 4 and very easy to get, we are going to need some heavy cream, sugar, water, and coarse sea salt!.
Ingredients:
1 cup of regular sugar.
1/4 cup of water.
1 cup of heavy cream.
A pinch of coarse sea salt.
Directions:
In a heavy based sauce pan let simmer the sugar and the water for about 3 or 4 minutes.
Then add the heavy cream... this will bubble up and it will be very HOT!
Then give it a stir with a wooden spoon... add the pinch of salt and let cook for a minute. remove from the stove and let the sauce completely cool before you taste it... trust me you don't want a burned tongue.!
The last step is to ENJOY!!! :). You can put the sauce in a cute jar for a gift and personalized wherever you want. that is up to you.
I wish I've seen this earlier! I used caramel to drizzle on a cake just this afternoon, but it hardened :( Just one question though: do I need to stir the sugar and water mixture in the first step, or should I just leave it to simmer?
ResponderEliminarHi Po!! Yeah you could stir but not too much, let it simmer until it get the color and deepest flavor that you like :) and you let me know how it turned out
