Homemade Caramel Sauce is delicious, but sometimes the clean up can be daunting. Here’s an easy recipe and tip to cleaning up a sticky, caramel mess with the new Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloth.

When I make caramel, I always try to clean the pot as soon as I am done using it. In culinary school, I was taught to fill the pot back up with water, bring it to a boil, then clean it out. While that is a good method, it takes more time to clean out the caramel. I tried the Scotch-Brite Scrubbing Dish Cloth, with a high quality fiber dish cloth on one side and Scotch-Brite® scrubbing dots on the other, making it quicker and easier to clean up.

This caramel recipe makes a good amount – almost 2 half-pint canning jars. It can stay refrigerated for up to two weeks. I usually top my homemade vanilla bean ice cream with caramel, but you could also put it on brownies, cupcakes and even waffles for breakfast. The sky is the limit!

The Scotch-Brite Scrubbing Dish Cloth is washable, reusable and sturdy. It gives you a non-scratching scrubbing power as well as the wiping and drying capability of a dish cloth. You can find the new Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloth in your local Target for $4.99. They are available in 2 packs in gray, mint, coral and navy. There are no current Cartwheel offers, but check your Cartwheel app often, because the Scotch-Brite brand frequently has coupons.

Here is a handy Kitchen Measurement Cheat Sheet that you can keep nearby. When using ingredients, it’s good to know the proper measurments, so you don’t have to dirty more dishes by re-measuring. But, if you do need to do some extra washing, the Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloth will help.
