lavender fleur de sel caramel sauce!!!

hey there :) happy wednesday!

i think i'm going to start sharing some amazing recipes that i find with you folkies! (fingers crossed!)

perhaps this will make me get in the kitchen a little bit more than i have been.

what do you think?

after making this dessert sauce last week, i realized that i will never live without this recipe again (for the rest of my life i swear)!

props to the amazing martha, who shared the following recipe in her february issue of living:

it wasn't online when i searched for it last week, but alas! i found it today!

ENJOY!!! (i know you will!)

{LAVENDER FLEUR DE SEL CARAMEL SAUCE}

  makes 1 1/4 cups

• 3/4 cup sugar 
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon dried lavender (kalustyans.com)
• 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel
• 
  
• Heat 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes. 
• Bring to a boil, and cook, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming, until medium amber, about 5 minutes. 
• Remove from heat, and add 3/4 cup heavy cream. 
• Return to heat. 
• Cook, stirring, until combined. 
• Remove from heat, and stir in 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon dried lavender, and 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel. 
• Let stand for 15 minutes. 
• Strain.

i plan to make this again--and re-shoot the process in the day time! i miss natural light...

...but for now, i will leave you with these :)
