The Ardent Homesteader

Cara-Sel salted caramel sauce is handcrafted in small batches in NY's Hudson Valley. Five ingredients. No preservatives. Insanely delicious.

Kristin Nelson is The Ardent Homesteader. She lives here in the Hudson Valley with her husband and three boys. They began their homesteading journey about ten years ago (their biography could be entitled "Chickens: the Gateway Animal") and have become more self-sufficient with every passing year. They grow their own fruit & veg and raise a small number of chickens, cows, and pigs. They love being so connected to what they consume and have learned A LOT from the process. It's hard work, both physically and mentally, but they know they are lucky to be able to do it.

"To anyone who has tasted my famous salted caramel apple pie, here's the secret ingredient! But you don't need pie to dream about Cara-Sel - the spoon works just as well ;-)." --Tom Jacoby, Co-Publisher, Edible Hudson Valley "People will tell you they love The Ardent Homesteader's caramel sauce. But no one loves this sauce like I do. Swirl it into your favorite brownie recipe and watch the crowd go wild." --Colleen Stewart, Marketing Manager & Digital Editor, Edible Hudson Valley
