Caramel Syrup

Ingredients:
1 Cup ​sugar
1 Cup ​corn Syrup
1 Cup ​cream
½ tsp​ baking soda ( ¼-½ tsp, depending on taste)
2 tsp​ vanilla


Preparation:
Combine sugar, corn syrup, and cream in a large *heavy sauce pan.
Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and boil gently 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for approx.. 15 min. Stir in ¼-½ tsp. baking soda and 2 tsp. vanilla.


Notes:
Baking soda is the key to this recipe and adds an interesting flavor. Use this syrup on waffles, pancakes, ice cream and even toast. For added flavor, top your pancakes/waffles and syrup with whipping cream. We also serve our waffles with crushed strawberries.

Something else to try; dice up one or two peeled apples (any kind) and sauté till soft. Spoon over waffles and cover with carmel syrup and whipped cream.

*It’s important to use a large pan. When you add the baking soda, it causes the syrup, when hot, to boil over or bubble up and if the pan is not large enough, it will spill over.

You can also use half & half, buttermilk, or a combination of all three milks in place of just the whipping cream.

To make 1 gallon of syrup:
6 cups each of sugar, corn syrup, and cream, 4 Tablespoons vanilla, 3 tsp. baking soda
