If you love salted caramel, miso caramel will blow your mind. It’s the perfect embellishment for ice cream, apple pie or even French toast. Use a saucepan with at least a 2-quart capacity; the mixture can sputter. Be sure to use white miso, which is the mildest variety, and opt for one with a smooth texture. Finally, miso brands vary in saltiness, so add only 1 tablespoon to start, then whisk in more to taste. The caramel can be refrigerated for several weeks; bring to room temperature before serving.
