Retain the beautiful caramel sauce color by using (aff link) pumpkin spice flavoring like this one.
Or get a richer color and flavor with traditional (aff link) powdered seasoning.
This wonderful sauce cooks up in a snap and you can store it away in the fridge, but take care when reheating by slowly warming it, if using the microwave think seconds not minutes.
Reheat this one gently and stop the warming process at the thickness you desire. Stir and enjoy a flavor somewhere between caramel apples and pumpkin pie….Oh MY!

Baking and cooking season alert!
The few minutes you take now to check your seasonings could save you a lot of headache, not to mention heartache, later. If you’re a seasoned baker your seasonings might be rotated regularly but otherwise, check now for the spices that might have been sitting up for months or years and deteriorating in quality. They won’t deliver the punch that you’re expecting and that these recipes were formulated to receive.
