- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup evaporated low-fat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- To make the caramel sauce: Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium-size, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, about 5 minutes, until syrup turns golden. (Be careful not to let it burn.)

- Return caramel to mediumhigh heat, and cook, stirring often, 1 minute, until hardened caramel has dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and salt (makes about 3/4 cup sauce).
- Top cake slices with fruit, and drizzle with warm sauce.
- Quick tip: Make the caramel sauce ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serve warm.
