Salted Caramel Sauce

February 27, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 8 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have a treat for you, key word a treat!!  Today I made you a saucy sweet treat that is sure to please caramel lovers.  You can say I am a caramel lover!!  I tend to go on kicks when it comes to caramel.  I over do having it in coffee, ice cream ect… then I get sick of it.  But sure enough a couple of months later the caramel craving comes back.  So what does a girl do when she craves caramel?  She makes her own!!

Salted Caramel Sauce
Oh yah, homemade caramel sauce. This is not your traditional caramel sauce that you get from the store or even at a candy shop this one is a little different. See my caramel sauce is made with coconut sugar, not granulated sugar. I chose coconut sugar for a couple of reasons. It’s natural, its high in vitamins and minerals, and it’s rich in amino acids. But the biggest benefit of coconut sugar is has Low Glycemic Index, meaning it doesn’t spike your sugar level. Low glycemic index foods can help balance and control health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity. So coconut sugar was the way to go in my book!  Oh and the sauce doesn’t taste like coconut.
Salted Caramel Sauce
The sauce turned out simply perfect. It’s thick, has a sweet caramel flavor and has the most beautiful rich, dark color. Oh, plus the salt, oh man you can’t forget the salt! Sweet and salt all the way! Yum!! This is one sticky recipe to make, but I sure enjoyed licking the spoon!! However,I got it everywhere, my arm, my cheek, and my clothes. Oh well, so worth it!!
Salted Caramel Sauce
The recipe is super easy to make too. No candy thermometer needed. I added coconut sugar and coconut milk to a sauce pan. Be sure to use one with high sides, so it doesn’t bubble over. Whisk, whisk, whisk until it starts to bubble. When it bubbles, whisk for two minutes. Then take off the stove and stir in vanilla extract and salt. That’s it! Easy peasy!!! No corn syrup, no butter and a less processed sugar. You can’t beat that!! But do remember this is still sugar, so go light on it!!

Salted Caramel Sauce
I did some research of caramel sauce and dessert toppings and the first two ingredients in just about all brands is Corn Syrup and high fructose syrup, with fructose coming in at #4.  So believe me this may not be the healthiest recipe in the world, but it is so much better than the stuff at the store.  Mine is all natural and your body can process natural a lot easier than processed.  Plus it’s vegan and gluten-free.  So if your craving caramel, whip together a batch of my sauce.  You will just love it!

Well that’s it for me!  I need to go make my Skinny Caramel Frappe and add just a drizzle of the sauce over the top.

Have a neato-rific day!


Toodles,

Jen

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Do you sleep in your stomach, back or side?

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a great start t Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a great start to the week. It’s been busy over here. The work emailed really piled up when I was off, 162 of them. Ugh.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
