Salty, savory and a little smoky, this versatile caramel sauce gets a mild kick from chipotle peppers. Stephanie and Brad Hunter, the husband-wife team behind the company, started Caramel Kitchen in their garage, where they made caramel the old-fashioned way: using only copper pots and a handful of all-natural ingredients. With a light spiciness that tickles the back of the throat, the classic caramel profile of this rich, buttery sauce gets an unexpected twist and works beautifully in sweet and savory applications. We love their functional packaging: a squeeze bottle means measuring out the sauce (or drizzling it over everything) is a neater, easier affair.
Copper has incredible abilities to conduct heat, which means that copper cookware can heat up very quickly and cool down just as fast. When making caramel, one of the visual cues to look for is caramel’s tell-tale amber color before cutting off the heat. Using copper pots provides more control—its heat-conducting properties means less residual cooking once the kettle is off the heat. Plus, copper distributes heat evenly, which means caramel is safe from hot spots.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Replace the fennel, rosemary and sugar in our Fennel-Brown Sugar Pork Ribs (Rosticciana) with a couple of tablespoons of the caramel sauce. Drizzle caramel sauce on top of our Sweet Potato Cupcakes with Cream Cheese-Caramel Frosting—the lightly spicy, sweet sauce is a perfect complement for sweet potato. Try the sauce drizzled on top of popcorn, like our Spiced Butter Popcorn, or tossed with a snack mix.
The caramel sauce does not require refrigeration after opening.
A family-owned business, Caramel Kitchen handcrafts caramel sauces with all natural ingredients in small batches. Stephanie and Brad Hunter, the husband-wife team behind the business, have gone from from making single batches of salted caramel for friends and family in their garage to a FDA-approved facility. With the help of women who graduated from Union Gospel Mission's Life Recovery Program, a local addiction recovery program, the Hunters make 600 bottles of caramel per day in copper kettles.
