Fun ways to try this delicious, hand-crafted in the Hudson River Valley, caramel sauce:
-
Swirl it into your oatmeal for a fabulous breakfast.
-
Warm to blend with cream; then chill & whip to make caramel whipped cream.
-
Swap it for sugar, honey, or maple syrup in savory recipes that call for a little bit of sugar, like some soups and dressings.
-
Stir it into your coffee or hot chocolate.
-
Eat it straight off the spoon, of course!
A note about the texture
Some people are surprised that the caramel doesn’t pour out from the jar at room temperature. It’s the thicker texture that helps it maintain its long shelf life without any preservatives.
At a cool room temperature, it’s gorgeously fudgy and ready as a dip for your pretzels, apples, or simply, your spoon.
In the fridge, it becomes more firm and sticky, and in summer temperatures or when it’s warmed, you can drizzle and pour it more easily.
If you want the warm sauce to stay flowy when it hits your cold ice cream I recommend adding a splash of milk or cream when you heat it.
Storage suggestions
Cara-Sel does not contain any artificial preservatives. The shelf life before opening is at least one year. It is best stored out of direct sunlight and away from high temps. Once opened, it could last for months in your refrigerator...but we have yet to meet anyone with that kind of willpower.
Allergy and nutrition info
Cara-Sel is made in a facility that also processes foods containing tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, soy, and wheat.
