I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Salted Caramel Sauce

Umami richness drizzled over ice cream? You'll just have to try it to know why this soy caramel thing has been going viral. And if you aren't adventurous enough to try it for dessert then use it as an umami-kissed glaze for chicken.  

Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 tbsps soy sauce 

First off, using light soy sauce is actually saltier than the dark. The dark is less salty and a bit sweeter. So the saltiness of your caramel will depend on your preference of soys. Mix the olive oil, maple syrup and soy in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then simmer 5-8 minutes stirring or swirling the pot regularly until slightly thickened. It will thicken more as it cools. Trust me you don't want to over cook it or you will end up with toffee. Unless toffee is what you like... it does make a nice salty sweet chew. (That was my first batch!) 
This recipe made about 1/2 cup of sauce. But make as much as you like, just remember 2 parts olive oil, 2 parts maple syrup and 1 part soy sauce. What else will you use it on?
