maybe its because I am channeling summer. Wouldn't that be nice. I am picturing a nice warm sunshine, flipflops, shorts, running through the sprinkles, jumping on the trampoline! ahhh I can't wait! So yes ice cream comes to mind.

BUTTERSCOTCH WITH SEA SALT

4 TBbutter

1C brown sugar

1TB corn syrup

3/4 c heavy whipping cream

1/4 tsp sea salt

2 tsp vanilla

in a med sauce pan melt butter over low-med heat. add brown sugar and corn syrup stir until well blended. stir frequently until the mixture turns from grainy to hot and bubbly. it will begin to look more like liquid, then you add the cream. , whisk until smooth. pour mixture into a glass bowl cool to room temp. when cool stir in vanilla and sea salt. keep refirgerated. you can reheat in microwave to serve over icecream.

APPLE CINNAMON SAUCE

2 apples

1/2c sugar

1 TB cinnamon

2 TB water

Mix all ingredients and boil for about 10 min. till apples are tender. pour over ice cream. (also good over pancakes) Watch carfully so they don't burn.

BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES
