Ingredients




1 cup Palm Sugar
1/4 cup Water
8 tablespoons Earth Balance Butter
3/4 cup Canned Coconut Milk
2 teaspoons Gluten Free Vanilla
2 pinchs Salt

Preparation

1 Place sugar in a small, heavy sauce pan. Pour 1/4 C water evenly over top and turn stove on to medium heat. 2 Hold pan by handle and swirl occasionally until sugar has dissolved. Do not allow to burn. 3 Once sugar is dissolved, cover and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Boil 2 minutes. 4 Remove lid and continue to boil until the edges of the pan turn a deep amber color and the syrup thickens and begins to smoke, swirling occasionally. Approximately 3-5 minutes. 5 Remove from heat and gently whisk in butter and coconut milk. 6 Stir in vanilla and salt. If sauce becomes lumpy, set over low heat and stir until smooth. 7 store in a canning jar in the refrigerator 8 Granulated white sugar can also be used if preferred. Palm sugar will result in a darker caramel sauce and give it a slightly less sweet/brown sugar type taste.
