“After church on summer Sundays, we headed over to Grandma's house for homemade sundaes with warm caramel sauce."

Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine milk and cornstarch in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.


Stir dark brown sugar and butter into milk mixture in saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.


Bring milk mixture to a boil. Boil for 1 minute; remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let caramel sauce cool slightly.
