Caramel Sauce
Something I’m proud of is the fact that I ALWAYS have a jar (or two) of this homemade caramel sauce in my kitchen! Once you make it, you’ll see why I like to keep it handy. Besides keeping a jar in my kitchen, I also love making big batches of this sauce so I can jar them up and give them as gifts! Homemade gifts can be hit or miss, but believe me when I say that giving a jar of this sweet dessert sauce to a friend is always a hit. After all, who doesn’t love caramel sauce?!

See what I mean? It’s really that easy!
