Santa's Workshop

I've been busy making lots and lots of caramel sauce for Christmas gifts. Growing up, I have memories of my mom making bite size caramels at Christmas time and then my sister and I sitting at the kitchen table wrapping them in wax paper for what seemed like hours and hours. In reality, I am sure we worked for about 15 minutes and my mom had to do the rest. Since I don't have free child labor around here, I have decided to take the easier route and just make the caramel sauce. I wrap it in a clear bag with a green granny smith apple and red ribbon (my mom did always say presentation is everything). I think this is going to be my signature Christmas gift for years to come. Funny enough, even though it tastes great, I have made it for so long (and eaten so much growing up) that my stomach kind of turns at the thought of it. What a great diet!
