buttermilk lime carmel sauce

this is a scrumptious carmel sauce that i adapted from german pancake syrup.  hope you enjoy!

ingredients:

3/4 C. sugar

1/3 C. milk

2 Tbsp lime juice

1/4 C. butter or margarine

1 Tbsp corn syrup (or maple syrup)

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp vanilla extract

directions:

1. add lime juice to milk, wait ~5 mins.  milk will curdle.

2. in a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, milk mixture, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda.  stir (almost) constantly.  bring to a boil, and boil for 7 minutes.  (time varies - for a thinner sauce, boil a shorter time; for a thicker sauce, boil longer.  to get a nice, spreadable carmel, i keep stirring until the colour changes from amber to a deeper brown.)

3. remove from heat, stir in vanilla.

4. cool slightly before consuming (it gets really hot).  enjoy!
