Caramel Sauce

From Trevor Lybbert

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream, not whipped

Combine ingredients and bring to a boil, stir constantly for 3 minutes. Pour over bread pudding, or ice cream, dip apples into it, etc.! A truly evil creation :-)

Pina Colada Dipping Sauce for Coconut Shrimp

1/2	cup sour cream
1/4	cup pina colada nonalcoholic drink mix
1/4	cup crushed pineapple (canned), drained
2	tablespoons granulated sugar

Combine all ingredients.

I buy the Coconut Shrimp from Costco for dipping in this sauce. I know you can find a recipe to make your own Coconut Shrimp, but if you want to serve this as an appetizer before a main dish, you might appreciate the saved time in buying the shrimp prepared at Costco. I used to want to make everything from scratch. Still the best option if there's time I suppose, but sometimes it's just as yummy to buy prepared foods and combine with homemade, or to add ingredients to prepared foods to add a homemade feel to it (See Easy Potato Salad). I haven't seen much of her myself, but I hear that's Rachael Ray's approach, so it can't be all wrong!
