To add color to your dessert sauce. you add 1 ounce of the caramel extract or just enough to have the color of the topping your clients love and you like to serve on your ice-cream, which should remind the real Canadian maple trees. To make your dressing more festive you add the six drams of pure vanilla extract into this syrup and heat the syrup on the slow fire. You should keep this dessert sauce warm all the time. The topping is served hot on the ice-cream or pancakes or fresh cantaloupe melons. If the sauce becomes too thick- you make it thinner with a filtered water.
