Miso Caramel

Miso Caramel

I know what you're thinking. But it's so good - it's basically a salted caramel with an interesting extra kick and I LOVE it.

Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 10 mins

Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp miso paste

Instructions:
1. Loosen the miso with 1-2 Tbsp of water. You can strain to get chunks out, if you like.
2. Heat the cream until just before reaching boiling point. Turn the heat off.
3. Place sugar and water in a large and deep saucepan and stir together to dissolve the sugar.
4. Heat the sugar/water mixture over medium heat and bring to boil without further stirring. (I found that different burners worked better than others, so don't feel bad if this doesn't work the first time!)
5. When the sugar mixture becomes golden brown, remove the pan from the heat.
6. Pour the pre heated cream into the sugar mixture carefully and a little at a time.
7. Stir to combine and whisk the loosened miso mixture in.
8. Put the saucepan back on low heat and simmer for a minute.
9. Allow it to cool down and pour into a storage container. Store in the fridge or freezer!
