This refreshing chopped salad was so tasty, my girls and I were fighting over the last serving. If you’ve never had jicama, it’s a slightly sweet, mild flavored, very moist and very crunchy root vegetable from Mexico. It’s also very high in fiber and Vitamin C. I can buy precooked barley in the freezer section of my grocery store. If you can’t find the precooked variety, I share simple cooking instructions below.

Recipe Description

I’ve been called “evil” because of this recipe. Finger in my face, “you are Evil for giving me this recipe!” You can make this delicious bit of heaven and dip Honey Crisp apples in it or pour it over vanilla ice cream. Now I know what the cooks on TV mean when they say: “Make your own caramel sauce.” I always would just buy store-bought. No more!

Preparation Instructions

Mix together honey, butter and sugar in saucepan. Turn on medium-high heat while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a rolling bubbling boil for 2 minutes while continuing to stir constantly. Add condensed milk and mix well, keeping the stirring and heat constant until completely mixed through.

Store in airtight containers in the fridge. To warm up, use a microwave on a low setting.

Ingredients

½ cups Honey
1 stick Butter
¾ cups Brown Sugar
1 can (14 Oz. Can) Sweetened Condensed Milk
To Serve: Apples Or Vanilla Ice Cream Or Whatever!

Looks amazing! How many jars did this recipe yield?

Sally Darling on 12.18.2010

Hi Rachel Mom – Gosh, you know that’s terrible, I’ve never measured it, but I would say it comes out to a total of about 3 cups. Thanks for asking, and I hope you enjoy!

This is delicious!
It filled 3 6-oz mason jars for me, with a little left for chef snacking.
I have a questions for you- did you use dark brown sugar? I used light brown and mine appears to be a lot lighter than the one you put in the picture.
Don’t get me wrong, still super tasty, but I’m wondering if it would be even more delicious if I had used a different sugar.

Sally Darling on 12.18.2010

Hi Squishyishy – (Love your name). Thanks for letting me know how much it exactly makes in the mason jars. You know, I almost didn’t post that photo, and I should have adjusted the color becuase it IS decieving. It IS lighter than the photo, much lighter actually. So you did everything right. I use light brown sugar also! I’m soooo glad you liked it, and thanks so much for yoru comment!

I went ahead and made this with light corn syrup in place of the honey. It was really good. We had it over some custard from a local ice cream place….very good!

Garlic Scape and Basil Pesto

by dragonstoy and filed in Condiments, Sauces

I was excited to see garlic scapes in my CSA box, but I had no idea what to do with them. Some online research lead me to pesto, and this is, in my opinion, one of the best pestos I have made.

Green Olive Pesto

by Holly Kirby and filed in Condiments

This is a pantry staple for me—rub on grilled vegetables, use as a spread on sandwiches, mix with vegenaise as a dip, use as a base for pasta salad or potato salad. It’s briny, lemony and delicious!

I love this recipe! It’s one of my favorites now. Super quick and easy, and perfect to go with fresh fruit, ice cream, etc.

thesweetandsalty on 2.4.2012

I made this to go on a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving and realized I had half a jar left in the fridge the other day. Needless to say my spoon was quickly scraping the bottom of the empty jar. Love the way the honey enhances the flavor. I added sea salt to deepen the flavor. Delicious!

mygirlsnme on 9.22.2012

This was super easy, and tastes delicious. I only gave it four mitts, though, because you can definitely taste the honey. Hubs said, “I’m not sure I’d call this a caramel sauce,” stating he could taste the honey right away. Good, though! Maybe a dark brown sugar would make it taste more caramelized.

Chrissy on 2.17.2013

So delicious! Mine does have a stronger condensed milk taste than I hoped for, but it’s still scrumptious so no complaints!
