Butterscotch Fruit Fondue

I have to tell you that I was truly disgusted by the photo of this recipe. I'm not much of a fan of butterscotch and the idea of dipping fruit in butterscotch seemed repulsive to me. But I decided that I'd have to make this eventually so I thought now was as good a time as any. I really wasn't too hungry for dinner so I skipped right to dessert. I made a half portion of this based on how much of the ingredients I had. Also I decided that I would use agave nectar in the place of golden syrup. The idea of that much processed sugar was just too much for me to bear. I had to add a natural factor which is why I went with agave.

It's really simple to make just bring your sugars and butter to a boil and let boil for 5 minutes. Then remove from heat and add - you guessed it - double cream and vanilla, then let cool. As you can see I served this with strawberry and banana. I was blown away by how much I liked this. Truly, truly delicious. If you have kids this is the PERFECT dessert to make them for a special occasion or to fun up a regular day. The banana was terrific with the sweet fondue and what would really be fantastic is granny smith apple! The strawberry was yummy too but ohhh the banana. I have tons left over (from a half recipe!) which is even now resting in my fridge awaiting further indulgence. I'd say this will keep in your fridge a few days to give you a sinful snack that you don't have to feel too guilty about given the fruit factor.
