Do you want to learn how to make caramel icing? This recipe produces caramel frosting that is so rich, glossy and creamy; perfect on many sweets and cakes. Included are more of my famous frosting recipes and homemade cake recipes at the bottom of the page.
In a medium, heavy saucepan, bring the sugar and cream to a rolling boil. Boil one minute. Add soda, and boil one more minute. Remove from heat. (see note below)
Add butter, but do not stir yet. Let the mixture cool. Beat well. Add chopped pecans if desired.
NOTE There is a secret to making this frosting creamy, light, and fluffy. First, set aside 2 to 3 tablespoons of the heavy whipping cream for later.
Next, make sure you let the mixture cool COMPLETELY (refrigerate as others suggested) DO NOT STIR. After about 1-1 1/2 hrs in the refrigerator the mixture should be ready. It will look like a thick, gooey, paste. Remove from fridge, and mix with mixer. Add the 2-3 tablespoons of the reserved heavy whipping cream alternately with powdered sugar until desired consistency is achieved.
3/4 cup homemade mayonnaise 1/4 cup homemade cherry conserve 1/2 tsp curry powder 1/4 tsp salt 12 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained and squeezed dry 1/4 tsp lemon juice 2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken 1 cup finely diced celery 1/2 cup sliced green onion
First combine the mayonnaise, chutney, curry powder and salt. Add remaining ingredients - chill before serving.
