Smoked caramel sauce. Try it once, and you're hooked.
This is a truly amazing recipe. Try it folks, it's seriously addictive! I did it while smoking duck yesterday. Caramel sauce is great in itself, but when you smoke it you add a completely new flavor dimension. It is soo good!
The plate, ready to serve
Caramel sauce is made by mixing equal parts of the following three ingredients in a pan, and boiling it.
3/4 cups double cream
3/4 cups dark treacle or golden syrup
3/4 cups sugar
What I did was to smoke the cream first.
Smoking it
Use a disposable (one-time) aluminum pan or other bowl. I made one by folding aluminum foil. Pour the cream into it. Place it on your grill, running at 225° F. Add a few wood chunks for smoking and close the lid. Smoke the cream for 30 minutes. Use gloves and carefully remove the aluminum pan with cream from the grill and bring it into the house. I poured it into a large tea cup, it made it easier to transport into the kitchen.

Cooking it
A caramel sauce is made in a pan on the stove. Mix the three ingredients together and let it boil (gently) without a lid for 20-30 minutes. It becomes thicker the longer you cook it. It needs to be watched though, if it boils too intensely then it has a tendency to ‘rise’ and run all over the stove. It get’s real messy real quick. Stir occasionally. Let it cool of for 5-10 minutes when it’s done.
Serving tips
Roast some hazelnuts and walnuts in a dry frying pan. Chop them and sprinkle over some vanilla ice cream. Drizzle a generous layer of caramel sauce on top.
You simply have to try my recipe, it'll blow you away.
