Easy Honey Caramel Sauce with Koval Chrysanthemum Honey Liqueur
Homemade honey caramel sauce makes everything a little more special.
Have you ever tried making caramel from scratch? Everyone loves caramel, and I think that a drizzle of this homemade caramel sauce can make any dessert feel gourmet. Although it may sound daunting to make, it’s surprisingly simple. I like to add Koval Chrysanthemum Honey Liqueur to my caramel because it gives the caramel a lovely depth and a honey-kissed flavor. If you haven’t heard of Koval Chrysanthemum Honey Liqueur before, it’s a bright, floral-flavored liqueur that is made with chrysanthemums and honey. Yum! This recipe is a holiday go-to of mine because I like to pour a little bit on top of pie and ice cream, serve it with my hot chocolate charcuterie, and even use it for making Christmas cookies.
Tips on How to Store Caramel Sauce
What’s the best way to store homemade caramel sauce?
This caramel sauce has only 5-6 ingredients (depending on if you choose to use the liqueur or not) and will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator if stored properly in an air-tight glass jar.
What do you do if your homemade caramel sauce gets too thick?
If your caramel sauce gets too thick in the fridge, simply warm it up in the microwave to loosen the consistency back up.
Now, let’s get to making that honey caramel sauce!
