Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Pecan Coconut Sauce

Don't you just love a good thick ice cream topping? I sure do and I think that's why I LOVE Mrs. Richardson's sauces. I use them in lots of recipes, not just for drizzling over ice cream. I knew IT Guy would love this sauce because it has two of his favorite things in it. Coconut and pecans. Talk about thick....you can spackle walls with this stuff. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, but that's how thick it is. And yummy? Oh yeah...very. We plopped it on top of french vanilla ice cream the other night, but how yummy would it be with chocolate? It would be like eating german chocolate cake! It's just so good! You gotta try it!!

Pecan Coconut Sauce

 

1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 egg yolks
¼ cup butter
½ cup coconut
½ cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a small sauce pan, heat sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Cook until thick and bubbly...maybe 5 minutes or so.
Remove from heat and add coconut, pecans and vanilla.

Serve warm over ice cream or cake.

Cook AND STIR for 5 - 8 minutes until the mixture is thick and bubble. You gotta stir it the whole time, though. You don't want the milk to burn on the bottom of the pan. Ew.
