Honey Caramel Sauce

I can’t believe I have almost completed my month with no sugar! It hasn’t been nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be (probably because I have been making recipes like this to satisfy my sweets need). It really has been great. I think I feel healthier than I did. It is also nice to have an excuse to not needlessly eat all sorts of junk food (although sometimes I really want to).

This caramel sauce was a great find! I was making the dessert for a friend get together and made everything using absolutely no cane sugar. I made my new favorite ice cream – agave sweetened chocolate ice cream, brownies (I’m still working on perfecting this one), and this caramel sauce.

Honey Caramel Sauce 

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1-1/2 cups honey
• 1 Tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Combine honey and cream in a heavy saucepan.  Cook stirring
constantly over medium-high heat until it reaches 238°.   Take off the
heat, stir in butter, vanilla and salt.   Cool slightly and serve warm,
or refrigerate.  Microwave briefly to warm for serving.
