This is a great Caramel Sauce to use for Sticky Toffee Pudding. What I like about it is the little hint of lemon does add just the touch to give the sweet sauce a little citrus touch. You can read a lot of different caramel recipes and they give you a time or color you are to look for, but I am a firm believer that a candy thermometer is totally necessary when working with sugars.
