Microwave Caramel Sauce
Spoon over Christmas pudding, plain cake, ice cream or baked apples for an easy dessert.
Source & History
My mother used to serve caramel sauce with the Christmas pudding, as well as Hard Sauce. Again, this isn't her recipe but one which was quick, easy & painless.Notes
- I used salted butter to get a salted caramel taste
- I stored this in the fridge & reheated it when I wanted to use it - several times, either in the microwave or on the stove.
