Could this perfect sundae sauce be any more indugent?
July 18, 2009
Forget about caramelizing sugar—maple syrup and Sucanat combine to give the same rich color and flavor. Theres no wrong way to enjoy this smooth, decadent treat, whether youre using it to heartily douse your perfect summer sundae or eating it straight from the stove. For a butterscotch sauce, use brown rice syrup and a touch of butterscotch extract. Serve with baked or frozen desserts or as a dipping sauce for fruit.
