Vietnamese bittersweet caramel sauce, version 2

We have made Andrea Nguyen’s iconic bittersweet caramel sauce since the publication of her first cookbook, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen. We always store our homemade sauce in a beloved plum jelly jar.

This time, we tried her latest version, which she recorded in a video: https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2020/04/vietnamese-caramel-sauce-recipe-video.html The method is similar. This version includes a touch of vinegar, We used 1/8 tsp distilled apple cider vinegar. (May 2023)
