PECAN CARAMEL SUNDAES- INA GARTEN
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.

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.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sundaes didn't turn out well. The caramel sauce was too thick and the pecans were too hard.

[email protected]The sundaes were good, but the caramel sauce was a little too runny. I think I would cook it for a bit longer next time.

[email protected]These sundaes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar in the caramel sauce next time.
