The recipe is actually very easy but it definitely requires your undivided attention. You don’t want to get distracted or leave the stove when making this, not even to get your camera to take picture along the way. It goes from perfect to burnt in the blink of an eye. Believe me, I know all too well.
A jar of this sauce should win anyone over, trust me.
mmmm, that looks amazing! Very appropriate title, haha! It would work on me 😉
I was lucky enough to get a jar of this last year. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Note: It doesn’t even need a co-star. It’s amazing on it’s own, eaten with just a spoon. 🙂
By the spoonful, my favorite way to enjoy it.
yum…perfect easy hostess gift.
Exactly! Be sure to make some for yourself too.
I believe you! That sauce looks amazing.
This is too funny! I never bake but this suddenly sounded good so I did a search. This was the first up. And I am a Dale Carnegie Trainer! Oh this is fabulous…
Sounds like it was meant to be!
