THOUGH WE MAY BE HALFWAY THROUGH JANUARY, I continue to wish friends a happy new year. Sometimes we need the reminder, I think, way beyond the first week. To help ease you into the next 350 days – or at least through winter – I joined forces with Keavy Landreth, the heart and brain behind Kumquat Cupcakery, in my first Stupidly Simple Snacks video of 2010! You may recall how I gushed about meeting Keavy at the Brooklyn Chocolate Experiment and then, of course, there was more enamored emoting on “Kumquat Cupcake Wednesday“. We got together earlier this week to make caramel sauce with a shot (or two) of whiskey to liven cupcakes, ice cream, and tart, green apple – not the worst way to start the year. amy • january 15, 2010

WHAT YOU NEED 3/4 cup heavy cream | 3 tbsp unsalted butter | 1 cup granulated sugar | 1/4 cup water | bourbon (but whiskey will do just fine if you forget to buy bourbon) | 8 minutes to cook | 2 hours to cool
OPTIONAL apples, ice cream, mini cupcakes
MUSIC Peter Bjorn and John • Young Folks

Thanks for leaving such nice messages, guys
Allo Melody! THANKS! I just got a trim the day before cause they were poking me in the eye.
Heather – when you and I are in the same city (even for a day!), we will make a Stupidly Simple Snack together. Promise.
Michael – I am sorry we used your whiskey. However, Keavy and I had a whole pot left over from filming. I bet she ate it all before you got home.
All – sorry for the loud music. I lowered the volume a bit & hope you can hear the dialogue better now!

Great vid! That looks crazy good! You guys were adorable! Yah, glad you found me on Twitter. Amy we should do a vid together sometime, with a bit of editing and coordination, we could do it even if we’re in different states. That would be so awesome! : )
