Recently I discovered that Johnnie Walker is gluten free and I got excited! Just to make it clear though,I am not alcoholic,nor like the whiskey in general! I just love it in sauces, sweet or savory. It gives that depth of flavor and that smokiness that I love in fall! So,I decided to make this caramel sauce… Is not your ordinary caramel sauce though! It is sweet,smokey,tart with a hint of orange and the perfect marriage of the spices! I fell in love with this sauce!

    Hi, I was wondering how long this sauce would last, unopened, in the jar. I was thinking of making up a few jars for presents in the next few weeks, but don’t want to make it too ahead of time in case it spoils quickly. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try it!

  • Hi Pina!
    I am happy you’re thinking of making it,it’s very tasty!
    You can make it and store it in the fridge up to three weeks. Don’t forget to pasteurize the jars before you put the sauce in it!
    Let me know how did you like it :)

  • Hi, well I just finished my batch and is it yummy, or what?!
    It made 3 x 500gr jars and, although I’m not a whiskey fan, it’s just so tasty. These apples keep their shape well so it isn’t a mass of mush.
    I’ll give away 2, but no. 3 is a keeper! Thank you for the recipe. xx
