We did the apple slices and dip. I had to improvise not having a candy thermometer, it works great to cook till soft ball stage. I thought I'd save half for Christmas as a caramel and cooked it a little longer...a no no because the sugar granulated up, where as our caramel sauce is nice and smooth, so don't cook past soft ball stage (when dropping a few drops into cold water it comes together in a soft goo rather than crystalizes and gets hard once dropped into cold water.)

Soooo much easier to eat that way, and more caramel in every bite! You know you just want the caramel, anyway ;) Though maybe some like the awkward mess of biting into that huge thing ... whatever floats your boat!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317703451552046627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-5636150681865242932010-10-28T15:53:48.216-06:002010-10-28T15:53:48.216-06:00Looks delicious!

You should get at least 1/2 cup from one can.Tammiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03519210216151040312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7015641473202244138.post-10706410381293012072010-11-17T12:59:15.988-07:002010-11-17T12:59:15.988-07:00This was so delicious!

I immediately took the caramel off the stove top when the sucanat melted. BTW, I ommited the agave..I don't like agave. I substituted brown rice syrup for the maple syrup ( I didn't have maple syrup). Thanks for the delicious recipe...It was absolutely perfect!Sandinoreply@blogger.com
