Ingredients

Zest of 1 Sumo Citrus
½ cup fresh Sumo Citrus juice (approximately 1-2 Sumo Citrus)
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream or canned coconut milk

Instructions

Zest the Sumo Citrus then extract the juice to measure ½ cup.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and the water. Stir gently for about 3 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
Once the mixture reaches a boil, stop stirring and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 8 minutes. It will change to a deep amber color.
Remove from heat.
Now pour in the Sumo Citrus juice and stir to combine the juice with the caramelized sugar.
Return the saucepan to low heat and add the butter, stirring for a few minutes until it melts completely into the mixture.
Gradually pour in ½ cup of heavy cream (or canned coconut milk), stirring constantly to achieve a smooth consistency.
Stir in the citrus zest and salt.
Continue to cook the sauce on low heat for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the caramel sauce cool for about 10–15 minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a glass jar or airtight container. Once cooled completely, the sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
