I'm glad it worked out. You know, I really should redo this. The sugar will clump up, and that's OK. If you reheat and keep stirring, it will dissolve. That’s very helpful, thanks!

I figured I should wait until I had two consecutive successful batches before confirming that I'd mastered it. I've found it worked better for me to add a small amount of the milk (roughly 60ml) and half the cream initially, and to add the rest of the liquid after I'd got the right texture. It helped to ensure that I didn't end up with caramel coloured milk and a re-solidified ball of sugar (from the coldness of the milk). Anyway, thanks for your help with this. It kept me sane while I was off chocolate for Lent, and it goes down a treat at family dinners. Success!

Was the revised recipe ever posted? I can't find it. I shold probably have read the comments before launching into making the sauce (twice!). Was the revised recipe ever posted? I can’t find it.

The sauce is really runny. In looking at other caramel sauce recipes the amount of milk and cream (to a similar amount of caramelised sugar) is a lot less. I am planning on converting this to an ice cream. Waste not want not. Caramel sauce for me was an abject failure. The sauce is really runny.
