Recipe FAQs
Some caramel sauces may not need to be refrigerated, especially store-bought caramel sauce that contains preservatives. However, homemade salted caramel sauce should be refrigerated.
To warm up refrigerated caramel sauce, you can use the microwave. First, make sure the caramel sauce is in a microwave-safe container.
Next, microwave the sauce for approximately 30 seconds, or until it's warm and pourable. It can also be warmed in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
