PECAN CARAMEL SUNDAES- INA GARTEN



Pecan Caramel Sundaes- Ina Garten image

This is really good and went prefect with my Labor Day menu. The key to the sauce is bringing the heat up gradually from medium to boiling. I always use Haagen-Dazs for both of the ice creams.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 pints vanilla ice cream
2 pints butter pecan ice cream
toasted pecans

Steps:

  • For the caramel, mix 1/3 cup water and the sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  • Cook, without stirring, over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown (about 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer), 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful; the mixture is extremely hot!
  • Watch the mixture constantly at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat.
  • Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. The cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify; don't worry.
  • Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits.
  • To assemble the sundaes, place 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream and 1 scoop of butter pecan ice cream in each dish and sprinkle with toasted pecans. Drizzle with caramel sauce and serve extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flowers: Not all flowers are edible, so be sure to do your research before you start juicing. Some good choices include roses, lavender, violets, and hibiscus.
  • Pick flowers at the right time: The best time to pick flowers for juicing is in the morning, when they are at their freshest. Avoid picking flowers that have been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides.
  • Wash the flowers thoroughly: Before you juice the flowers, be sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a juicer: The best way to juice flowers is to use a juicer. A juicer will extract the juice from the flowers without damaging the delicate petals.
  • Add other ingredients: You can add other ingredients to your flower juice, such as fruits, vegetables, or herbs. This will help to balance out the flavor of the juice and make it more palatable.

Conclusion:

Flower juice is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of spring. It is also a healthy way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a new and unique way to enjoy flowers, try juicing them. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it!
