Very easy. However, I tried substituting brown sugar as given as an option, and ended up with a big chunk of toffee - it refused to dissolve. So, I used agave syrup, which has the advantage of already being smooth, and it has a slight carmely taste. I did everything else as written, and ended up with about twice as much salsa as needed, but will definitley use it as a dessert topping elsewhere. <br />This was a unique dish with a really interesting complexity to it. <br />p.s Much to my wife's horror, I ate the toffee-like substance, which was also very tasty. I don't believe in waste!
