Caramel Sauce

3/4 c sugar
2T water
1/2 t lemon juice
1/2 c heavy cream
2T milk

Combine the sugar, water and lemon juice in a non reactive saucepan.  Stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and has an amber color to it.  Don't let it darken to too dark of an amber color or it will taste burnt.
Add the cream, remove from heat and whisk continuously until smooth.  Add the 2T of milk and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Tastes great and makes a great topping for ice cream sundaes.  And the bonus is there are no preservatives like the crap you buy in the store.  Just keep it in your fridge.
