Emma Homemade Christmas Gift or Treat
This thick sauce will make an ideal gift for a foodie this Christmas or keep it for yourself for adding to cakes, puddings and pancakes or just with a spoon from the jar!
Jars will keep for around two week in the fridge, if you can resist!
You can reheat the salted caramel, heat as you would melt chocolate, in a bowl or pot that fits over a pan of simmering water. This helps the sauce not burn.
Enjoy 🙂
