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.
