Health and fertility benefits of Chai-Spiced Caramel Fondue

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons water
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Using a wet pastry brush, wash down the side of the saucepan to remove any sugar crystals. Cook over moderately high heat until an amber caramel forms, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in all of the remaining ingredients. Return the saucepan to the heat and cook for 1 minute, stirring until the caramel is smooth. Transfer the caramel to a bowl and let cool for about 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
