Caramel Sauce

1 1/4 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Whipping Cream, Room Temperature
1 1/4 Cup Boiling Water

Place sugar in iron skillet over medium-low heat. Stir it constantly as it melts. If a strong carmel flavor is desired, burn the sugar slightly. Slowly pour boiling water in sugar. Note: sugar and water will react violently, add water slowly. Cook the mixture until it is the consistancy of maple syrup. This syrup may be kept indefinitly in a closed jar or bottle. It may also be flavored with rum.

When mixture has reached the desired consistency, add warm cream and cook until slighly thickened. Remove from heat and chill.

2002 Adapted Recipe - April Ferre - Joy of Cooking, 1943.

Calla's Low Carb Cheesecake with Caramel Sauce

"This is an absolutely heavenly sauce; very similar in taste to Calla's Blue Ribbon Caramels.  A bit nerve racking to make, as you are directly heating sugar.  Constant stirring and a cast iron skillet is a must!  It is wonderful over cheesecake or ice cream." - April Ferre
