The caramel sauce was just unbelievable and super easy to make. I followed the directions exactly and I came up with a super smooth sauce that tasted great over homemade ice cream. I can't wait to try this over baked apples or simply as a dipping sauce for apple slices. Ina nails it again!

So good, made this one night for the family and it disappeared! Just make sure your candy thermometer is functional.

I had the same problem with it crystalizing into a giant lump. I added more water to it and broke up the clumps, turned heat down to low and gently dissolved it into a syrup again. Then continued with the recipe as directed, swirling pan occasionally. I managed to save the caramel sauce!

I attempted this recipe twice with no luck either time. Both attempts crystallized and hardened. A previous reviewer in Utah had similar results, I am in Colorado Springs. Could it be the altitude? Very dissapointing.

I am a recent college graduate and am very new to cooking. I have never made candy or any sort of caramel sauce, so I was a bit intimidated to try this one without a candy thermometer. Turns out, I didn't need one... The instructions were so simple and straightforward that even a newbie like me was able to make this wonderful caramel sauce. I couldn't stop licking the spatula and my friends were shocked that me, the girl that used to BURN PASTA, could make this.
Thanks Ina, this desert was wonderful!!!

Others commented about the sugar crystalizing along the sides of the pan. I didn't have that problem. It was an easy recipe to follow. But I thought that the caramel sauce lacked depth of flavor. It was overly sweet without any of the taste of sugar brought to a high temperature. I'll make it again before I write it off as not worthy of adding to a recipe collection. Ina is such a wonderful cook; I'm sure that the fault in the recipe is my own.
