Salted Caramel Sauce

This is simple to make and you can store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for a good few weeks. Use it on ice-cream, drizzled on pancakes or crepes, as a layer in a chocolate pudding, folded through yogurt, drizzled over apple slices, in apple pie filling, marbled in brownies, as a filling in homemade chocolates, sandwiched between cookies and even in coffee or smoothies. It uses unrefined sugar and is of course dairy free. You can omit the salt if you prefer just caramel.

SERVES:
