    As soon as the show was over, I went right to the kitchen to make this. I couldn't find my candy thermometer so I went by color alone. The taste is absolutely wonderful. I'd like the sauce a little thicker but next time I will definitely use a candy thermometer - which of course I found the day after I made the sauce. I've put it in the freezer for safekeeping - I was afraid I would eat the whole thing myself! It took almost 20 minutes to make - I have an electric stove so I kept switching it among burners to make sure it didn't burn.

    Brilliant! The recipe worked perfectly (as Ina's always do, I find, the color's lovely, the taste is perfect. I'm using it with vanilla ice cream, rum-sauteed bananas, and toasted pecans. And, as Ina would say, "How easy is that?"

    This caramel sauce is awesome! I made it just like Ina's directions and it came out perfectly: silky, luscious, and beautifully golden. I don't know why there are low ratings; this recipe is wonderful. I have an electric stove and used pure cane sugar. I'm going to mix rice krispies into it and then dip it in milk chocolate like mini 100 grand bars.

    This caramel sauce was lovely. The only addition I made to it was to strain it at the end. There were large crystals left in the sauce. This was my first time making this sauce. I am waiting on the sauce to thicken now. I followed the recipe to a T. Thanks Ina!

    I halved this recipe and used turbinado sugar and oh my is it delicious! I did not use a candy thermometer; I just removed from flame completely when i saw the first hint of smoke. I poured into a jar and cooled in an ice bath and an hour later i have a chilled caramel sauce the consistency of peanut butter. It does not taste burnt, although I think using the raw sugar has given it a sharper taste than something you'd find in a candy bar. I will keep playing with this recipe - perhaps use a maple flavoring next time.

    I thought this was a delicious sauce and I really appreciate that she sates what temperature the water and sugar mixture should be (randomly, I have a candy thermometer, I have a black pan so it's difficult to see when the color changes to brown. I didn't add anything different than what she has listed. Super, fabulous, wonderful.

    Just A Suggestion:
    Pour over buttermilk pancakes, and add sliced bannana and pecans, or add a drizzle of fudge sauce. :
