Old fashioned homemade butter scotch sauce

 Love caramel but maybe find it a little fussy to make? Looking for a ridiculously easy dessert sauce? Then you need to try my homemade butterscotch sauce! Butterscotch is caramel’s easier and butterier cousin. What’s not to love?

 

Hello,

There are a number of things I’ve resisted making over the years. Either because they seemed too difficult. Or because I could buy what I thought were reasonable versions of them in the store. Or both.

Things like hummus. And blue cheese dressing. And dinner bread. I now make all of these myself on a regular basis since they are both a great deal easier than I realized and also so much better than just about any version that I can buy in the store.

 

I’m now adding butterscotch sauce to the list.Homemade Dessert Sauce

This version here I have adapted from The Smitten Kitchen’s Ridiculously Easy Butterscotch Sauce (who adapted it from a source who in turn adapted from a source – if you want a basic, no-frills butterscotch recipe this seems to be the one to make). I found this recipe when I did a little search after deciding I needed to make som

And, yes, it is ridiculously easy, as well as ridiculously tasty.

A few minutes to assemble the ingredients and a few minutes more stirring the sauce on the stove top and you are done! You have thrown off the shackles of artificial colors and flavors, and unpronounceable additives, and whatever else they put in the butterscotch sauce you can buy in the store.
