Easy instructions for a clean-ingredient, simple yet finger-licking made-at-home caramel sauce.

I have fond memories of my classmate Jaya – two braids with blue-ribbons – the school-house color. She was simple, beautiful and fun-loving. It’s been decades since we met but thanks to Facebook, it’s wonderful to watch how our lives have panned out. She now lives in Singapore and is always rustling up these delicious looking dishes for her family. When she posted this clean, corn syrup free, simple caramel sauce, I had to give it a try. I will never buy caramel sauce again…. P.s. my kids licked the bowl clean!
