Crack Sauce

This is how this sauc has been labeled by all that have tried it (except my sister!  and I quote: I just don't care for it.)  What the what?!  How do you not care for crack sauce?  She is cray cray I tell you!  Anyway, I found several caramel sauce recipes and decided on this one.  I have several different recipes and this is the one!  This sauce goes on EVERYTHING!  No joke.

Caramel Sauce (A.K.A crack sauce)

You want to put all ingredients into a pot and let boil.

After it boils for about 8 min or so it will look like this.  Color gets richer bronze and thicker.

This is how it looks when it is done!

You want the caramel to coat the spoon.  This lasts about 2 or so weeks in the fridge.  After a longer time it will start to crystalize in the fridge.  It warms up nice too!

Recipe:

1/4c butter

1/2c pure maple syrup

- Bring top 2 items to a boil (heat should be about med heat)

3/4c coconut milk (mostly the cream from the top)

pinch of salt

Add coconut milk and continue to boil for about 5-6 min.  Till mixture has reduced by about half and is thick enough to coat a spoon.  

After mixture is done, turn heat off, let cool for a few min then add 1/2-1 tsp vanilla.  (I use homemade and haven't posted it yet but I will!)

TIP * you want to use whole coconut milk and use all the heavy cream at the top and then some of the liquid if needed.  low fat coconut milk is fine too but you need to let the sauce reduce a bit longer about 8-9 min instead.
