Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber color, occasionally brushing down the sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan.  Remove from heat.  Add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously).  Stir until smooth.  Set caramel sauce aside.

Mix brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Stir over medium low heat until mixture thickens and boils, about 8 mins.  Remove from heat.  Whisk in caramel sauce.  Whisk egg yolks in large bowl to blend.  Gradually whisk 1 cup warm caramel mixture into yolks.  Gradually whisk yolk mixture back into caramel mixture in saucepan.  Bring to simmer over over medium heat.  Gradually whisk in butter and vanilla.  

Pour into jars with a layer of oreo crumbs at the bottom. Add salted caramel sauce, whip cream and oreo crumbs.


Salted Caramel Sauce

3/4 C plus 2 T heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1/2 C sugar
2 T light corn syrup
4 T (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 “ cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Place cream in a small pitcher.  Scrape seeds from vanilla bean: add bean.  Set aside.


Stir sugar, corn syrup, and 2 T water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves.  Increase heat to medium-high; boil, occasionally swirling pan and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush, until deep amber color from, 5-6 mins.  Remove from heat; gradually add vanilla cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Whisk over medium heat until smooth and thick, about 2 mins.  Remove from heat; whisk in butter and salt.  Strain into a heatproof bowl.  Let cool slightly.

*Fruit is a must with this dessert.  It is so rich and sweet, you need a little fruit to break it up.  Peaches are our favorite, but strawberries and blueberries are great too!
**I love a crust with this pudding, but I'm not sure which.  I'm not a huge oreo crust fan, so I experimented with a few and haven't found the winner, so I just made it this time without a crust.
***I made a double batch of the salted caramel sauce and keep it in the fridge.  It's amazing on ANYTHING...ice cream, oatmeal, pancakes, hot chocolate....

Raspberry Freezer Jam

 Raspberry Freezer Jam This isn't a recipe...it's just to help myself remember what I did.  So the next time I make jam I can decide if I want to switch it up.  I'll explain.... In January, I stumbled on a blog called wordofwisdomliving.com and it opened my eyes to the extreme amount of processed foods we eat. High fructose corn syrup, sugar, hydrogenated oil, etc.  So when I went to make a batch of freezer jam and again looked at the amount of sugar and corn syrup, I wanted to try and make a change.  So I made a batch of sugar free that was sweetened with stevia (a natural non-caloric sweetener - still not the healthiest thing, but I feel like a step in the right direction).  The batch was awful (stevia has a bitter after taste sometimes) and I was so mad that I wasted that much fruit.  So I made a normal batch and decided to conduct an experiment on my kids.  I combined the two batches and waited to see if my kids would notice.  They never ...

Roasted Beets

This recipe is Elimination-Diet friendly.  The downside of beets is that they take a long time to cook.  The upside of beets is that they're delicious either hot or cold, so they're great in a packed lunch, and throw needed vitamin C and fiber into your diet.  Roasted beets are worth it, since they're much more flavorful and toothsome than canned varieties, and less expensive. If the beets come with greens, you can cook them up like swiss chard.  I would make the greens the first night, roast the beets during dinner, and eat the beets the next day.   Ingredients: 4-6 beets 1/4 cup olive oil 14 cup balsamic vinegar (optional) Recipe: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit Peeling beets is just like peeling potatoes, but messier.  Beet juice will stain a lot of surfaces, including countertops, hands, and fabrics.  It's easiest to just station yourself at the sink with a little water running (or a bowl of water if you're in a drought stat...
