This easy caramel sauce requires patience and a few hours to make, but it is worth it! Try it over cut up apples or ice cream...delicious!  
I made this on  a Sunday afternoon when I was busy in the kitchen anyway... just keep it on the back burner and check occasionally.

Mix in a heavy saucepan: 1 and ½ cups sugar

1 tsp. cornstarch

½ tsp. baking soda

Add: 4 cups whole milk

2 and ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Stir ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully so it doesn't boil over. Immediately turn to low,  and simmer. Let cook very slowly about 3 hours, uncovered, until it looks like caramel sauce (medium-dark brown).

While cooking, watch and stir occasionally, to make sure it doesn't burn. The key here is patience; low heat to just simmering (not boiling) will give the best results.

Remove from heat. Stir in 1 T. GF vanilla

(You can add Kahlua to taste too - it adds a really rich flavor! A tsp or two is good)

Cool completely and store in refrigerator. Makes about 3 cups.


Serve warm over brownies, ice cream, sliced apples, etc.
