CARAMEL CUPCAKE DRESSING

Ingredients:

1/3 of water

1 cup sugar

1 orange

Directions:

Put water in saucepan.
Sugar in saucepan over a medium high heat until sugar water cooks bubbles.

You want to swirl the pan over heat; don't stir as it will turn brittle. Do not leave stove when cooking because the liquid could quickly overcook.
Keep swirling until it stops bubbling so much as it becomes a brown caramel color -- you want it dark not light.
Turn off heat.
Squeeze one orange until all the juice comes out.
Pour it into the caramel while still swirling, otherwise it will not be mixed properly.
Put on medium heat.
Add a generous dash Grand Marnier or vanilla extract.

Pair with apple cider.

* The dressing would make an excellent and inexpensive to substitute to syrup!!

Thanks Sinta for the recipe!
