Mmm the house smells of caramel.
I know I'm on a healthy eating kick (and it's been a "good" weekend of veges and fruit etc), but I couldn't resist giving this recipe a go.... I blame my friend Tracey. She made her's from scratch, whereas I've cheated a little, but instead of boiling the condensed milk can, I've followed
David Lebovitz's recipe and baked it in a dish in a water bath ... with added salt flakes. Safer, and too easy to make... and the willpower will get a work out resisting this!

| Main ingredient.... add some sea salt flakes |
 |
| Bake in a bain-marie for about 1-1.25 hrs |
 |
| Whisk when cooled |
 |
| Taste test - whisk |
 |
| FINAL PRODUCT -MMMMM! |
The photos are a little misleading, it's a lovely golden brown colour, but it was evening and the flash went on the camera.
Interestingly it wasn't salty, so I might have to play with the amount of salt I put in for a true salted-caramel, but then Dulce de Leche isn't a salted caramel sauce, it's just caramel decadence! Now... where's the ice-cream?
If anyone has an opinion on how much salt to add, salted caramel is my newest favourite flavour (particularly macaroons and salted caramel chocolates!)
