1 cup white sugar

Whisk the cream and caramel until combined then add the butter, whisk until melted then add 1-2 good pinches of the salt. Allow to cool slightly then drizzle of vanilla ice cream.

Another educational and fun morning with Beth and France! I love Saturday mornings with Beth!☺️
So true…she’s so fun to watch no matter what she’s doing.
The San Francisco south bay still has some active salt companies. Colorful salt flats can be seen as you fly out of SFO. I remember learning about pickleweed during an ecosystem field trip in the bay. I didn’t know it was edible. Thanks for today’s fascinating vlog!
Oh how interesting!! I had no idea! I will def look for that the next time I fly out of SF! :) TFS!
“Or as my husband would say, “carte d’or”🤣 loved that!! Another fantastic and informative video- thank you, Beth!
He always makes fun of my accent on D'Or so I thought that was funny ha! And not to worry, the "making fun of accents" goes both ways! LOL!
Ooh a salted caramel recipe. I love salted caramel and videos.
Your smile is just infectious Beth!
I love that they eat pickleweed (salicorne)in that area of France! Thank you for taking us on your adventure!
It was so interesting to see and learn more about! :) So glad you enjoyed it too!
This was so interesting - thanks for sharing! I have always wondered how salt is harvested. The salted caramel looks great too!
Its such a fascinating process i just had to share!! 💕😍
I love your France blogs. You’ve make my day ❤️
Aww I'm so glad you enjoy them! Thanks for joining me!
Thank you for sharing and explains the salt collection process. That is a lot of work! I’m glad it’s still being collected by artisans and not just big companies. And, I know what’s on our dessert menu tonight! My daughter goes back to school (university) tomorrow. She will love making this with me.
Aww best of luck to her! Yes this would be a great "Bon Voyage" dessert! :). Yes me too, I love seeing these independent, small food artisans too! So inspiring to see their passion and dedication!
Oh wow, this was fascinating! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I think we call Salicorne , samphire in the uk, you can buy it fresh in the produce section in the supermarket, or near where I love you can pick it. It’s great stir fried! Gorgeous video again, Beth, I so look forward to them!! 💞💞🏴🏴
Oh I love hearing that! I'll try it in a stir fry! Thanks for sharing! And for joining me in the salt marsh ha! :)
This was very informative Beth..thank you! ❤🍁
Hi Beth, I'm just so enjoying your videos from France. Everything has been so interesting. I am truly a salt girl....I'd rather have salty than sweet any day but the combo of sweet and salty IS very compelling. That sauce looks so delicious! And I bet it SMELLS wonderful
Oh it does! It's so yummy! I bet you would really enjoy it! I'm so glad you have enjoyed the videos this year! They have been such fun to share! :) I'm sad I only have one video left next week :(.

You are so welcome! I'm so glad you could "arm chair" travel with me! :)
Hi beth I'm canadian but I live in france about 5 years now and I Confirme you are right, crème fleurette is the equivalent of heavy cream 😋
Oh THANK YOU Mylene!! At last, I have solved that mystery!! LOL! :)
Very interesting! ...also I've been influenced to have ice cream for breakfast today lol
LOL! Or drizzle it over a crepe for breakfast :)
Thank you, Beth. My daughter purchases this salt for me at Christmas. ❤️
Aww so nice! :) What a sweet gift idea!

You are so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoy them! It's always so fun to share interesting places like this! :)
Currently drooling over this🤤
I can’t thank you enough for these tips and all the interesting and fun videos of your time in beautiful France. The house is lovely. We are renovating our kitchen and live near the beach in NY. We wanted it simple and relaxed and have found so much inspiration in your kitchen design. Have a great return trip!
I'm so glad!! Kitchen renovations are SO much fun! (when they go well ha!) I hope it will be a source of great cooking and entertaining inspiration!
@@EntertainingWithBeth I agree, I’m looking forward to the new kitchen. Can’t wait to cook and have my grandchildren in the kitchen cooking with us. Some delays as we all know occurs with waiting for , cabinets, and plumber etc. How do you like yours Smeg oven ? Searching for an oven this week, but some companies have long delays . Thank you !
This was so delightful 😁
I enjoybthede types of. Adventures! I visited a salt Marsh in Cape May NJ with girls organization learning about the habitat. There was a hawk's nest that had fledgling in it! Anyway, the tour guide pointed the edible plant that you shared. She asked for volunteers to try it and I steped up and I nibbled on a piece. I Found it to be interesting flavor.
Definitely add it to a salad, a cream vegetable dip or mayonnaise sauce for fish. The girls thought I was brave and the tour guide said she would accept an invitation for dinner and we all laughed, I love when things like this come full circle. Was there a link for the jarred product. I must make the caramel sauce. Make my own salted caramel sauce for my cold brew coffee. As always Beth TFS.
Oh how funny! I LOVE that story! Yes you never know where our own experience may just pop up again ha! Unfortunately, I don't have a link for the jarred salicorne, I couldn't find it in the states! But there's a ton of it in Vendee if you ever make it over! :)
Love it!
C'est toujours un plaisir....merci Beth...lol 😍
Aww Je suis content que tu l'aime! :)
This is so interesting, Beth! Thank you for taking us along🙏💞💞
You are so welcome! Thanks for joining me! :)
Salt harvesting looks very picturesque. The smooth precise movements of the salt harvester, the basins and the birds. has there been a famous painter who made salt harvesters his (or her!) subject?
Oh I would love to know too! But look what I found online! You can purchase wall art with these scenes! :) pixels.com/featured/1-the-salt-marshes-near-trouville-richard-parkes-bonington.html
@@EntertainingWithBeth
That’s really pretty! And they’re very reasonable.
THANK YOU! You are the best!!
Yuuum, thanks for sharing.
So interesting, I have a newfound respect for salt
Very interesting, thanks 🙂❣️
Thank you Beth for another interesting and educational video. I like how you tied it in to a delicious recipe. I enjoy learning about your particular region in France.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you found it interesting! And yes that recipe is SO yummy! :)
Hey Beth🥰 thanx for bringing us along on your france adventures ☺️ 😘 so much fun and I learnt a few things. The sauce for the ice cream looks just so delicious 😋 and the name of the ice cream "shut the door" works for me🙈😂
Love and warm hugs from South Africa ❣️
Ha! Ohh that ice cream is to die for!! Worth the trip and all the jet lag!! 😂💕🙌
I will try this soon! Love the podcast. 💕🌸
This video was so informative. I'm really enjoying these French vidoes of yours! Thank you!
I'm so glad you like them! :)
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Another amazing video! Thank you Beth! You’re a terrific tour guide!
You are so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Such fun to share! :)
Interesting video as usual Beth,it's true the Vendee is a very nice place to visit. Have a lovely weekend.
Oh it is! I know the South of France is always popular with visitors, but I really love the West Coast and Vendee! So beautiful and peaceful :)
The footed glass dish makes something so simple look special . I absolutely loved seeing this.
Ha! That's what I thought too lol! Anything glass and footed just kicks everything up a notch in my book! :) So glad you enjoyed it Stacy!
Great vid, Beth 🇫🇷🌼🍧
Thank you
Thank you for the video. We are just back from our holiday in Ile D’Oleron, where we also visited les marais salants to buy salt but didn’t take part in a tour. So interesting to see and hear how it’s done.
Thank you sooo much Beth for sharing with us all those great French adventures! I studied and lived in France many years ago. That country and its magnificent culture is very dear to my heart, so every time that I watch your videos and how appreciative you are of what you see, it truly warms my heart! 😍🤩
Aww I'm so happy to know that :) These adventures are always such fun to share! This region is dear to my heart since not a lot of Americans know of it (favoring Paris or the South of France) but I think the Atlantic Coast has so much to offer, while a bit off the beaten path, I think you can really see some wonderful things hear! So glad you are enjoying it too!
Love, love, seeing this video and learning about the salt collection process. A wonderful recipe as well. Thank you.
Of course! Such a joy to share! :)
Love this! A travelogue and a recipe-good stuff!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thought it would be a fun combo! :)
This is great info, since I painted a new salt marsh series this summer.
Very educational. I really enjoyed it ☺️
So glad you enjoyed it! Always fun to share! :)
Thank you for sharing with us another amazing part of your season this year. So interesting! Salted caramel is really a favorite for me specially with ice cream or chocolate. ❤️
It's SO good! And so easy too, that's the best part! :)
This was so interesting thank you for taking us along. The caramel sauce looks scrumptious.
Oh it is! And so easy to do too! :)
Wow, never knew how salt was harvested. Great video and I’m definitely trying this recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!
It was so fun getting a virtual tour of the salt fields! And I can’t wait to try the recipe, thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :) Always such fun to share! :)
I love the "show and tell". So informative and it brings a new appreciaton to the folks harvesting our food. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures🤩
Of course! I'm so glad you enjoyed it too! I feel like these food artisans are the unsung heroes of the world! Love shedding a light on what they do so we can all appreciate it that much more! :)
Really good to see..thanks for sharing
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@EntertainingWithBeth my pleasure.. Keep sharing more content.. Hope you stay connected
I LOVE yours vlogs!💜👍
Aww thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy them! :)
Love all your videos, especially the ones that go on like this. This is like the traditional process of making salt in Indonesia. Thank you
So glad you enjoyed it! Oh I would love to visit Indonesia one day :)
Your salted caramel looks absolutely beautiful, Beth.
Thank you 😋 So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Looking good! Would love to taste that .. keep sharing my friend! I’m subscribed 😀
So glad you enjoyed it! And WELCOME to the community! :)
WOW!!! Fabulous as usual Beth and I LOVE YOUR tours and the sharing. Growing up in Brasil I did experience salt harvesting and that was a million years ago. As I remember humidity played an important part in salt harvesting, when the humidity is high the salt turns back to salt water. I'm assuming the humidity in Saint-Hillaire-de-Rez is low, right? Living in Florida I have seen restaurants that serve al fresco dining insert rice in the salt shaker because it absorbs moisture even faster than salt. The salt that says "when it rains it pours" is NOT sea salt but rock salt that comes from mines one of the biggest mines is about 2,000 feet under Lake Erie and that salt is then infused with Iodine. That particular company has now diversified to incorporate sea salt in its manufacturing portfolio, I guess it needed to keep up with the times. STILL nothing absolutely NOTHING compares with the old fashion harvesting of sea salt like the salt from France that you so kindly showed us...I forgot about the salted CARAMEL It looks positively YUMMY and I also had a giggle when you inserted Philippe's voice-over in the pronunciation of the ice cream. I so look forward to your videos Beth it really makes my day, so THANK YOU!!! 😘🥰🥰🥰
Aww I'm so glad you enjoyed it Sandy! Yes we kid eachother about how we each butcher each other's language ha! He always makes fun of how I say "d'or" so I thought I'd throw him in there to "correct me" like he normally does lol! And not to worry, the ribbing goes BOTH ways! :)
This is so cool! Thanks so much for sharing! Now I have to go buy some salt!
Ha! Yes! :) Hope you enjoy!
Fascinating. I too was wondering if anyone falls in? They do have tremendous balance skills. Thank you.
Yes they do! Luckily it's not that deep :) But Still ha! I couldn't help thinking about that! Ha! :)
But…I’d hate to fall in salt water. I was once sprayed with ocean water once and became an itchy dry mess! 😂
TFS didn’t know that about salt💜💜💜💜💜💜
Cool right?! :)
This is pretty much the same way they make Hawaiian salt in the salt beds at salt pond on the island of Kauai.
cant wait to make this soon for me can i use coconut cream and vegan butter i never had salted caramel before perfect for your desserts or my snacks
Oh it's delicious! I bet you would enjoy it! :)
So never heard of Salicorne but sounds like Samphire or "sea asparagus" which I used to be able to buy fresh. Definitely going to look for it when I go to St. Pierre et Miquelon. Such an interesting to tour.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And yes maybe that is another name for it! Hope you can find it and enjoy it too! :)
👏🏻👏🏻
Ooooo…salted caramel sauce! As a kid, when everyone else was ordering chocolate or hot fudge sundaes, I always picked caramel or its cousin, butterscotch. I learned to appreciate hot fudge, but caramel is still my fave. I only have ice cream twice a year, but next time I’ll having it with this sauce. And I think I’ll moving the schedule up! 😉
Loved the trip to the salt ponds. Years ago, we visited salt ponds in Grenada and it was interesting to see. I’m afraid they are no more due to development of the island. So sad because it was located in the part of the island with a wildlife/bird sanctuary.
I’m in North Carolina and there are a couple of places here that collect salt from the sea, but neither uses the open ponds. They still do solar evaporation, but they do it in these little greenhouse-like structures. I envy you being able to just buy it right there. How did you resist the kind with the seaweed? I’d have had to give it a go!
Can’t wait for next week - I was sad to read in your response to someone else that it will be your final one for this trip. Bittersweet…
I know me too :(. It's always so sad when they come to an end, but not to worry I've already got a list of 11 more visits for next year LOL!
@@EntertainingWithBeth
And we have the rest of the year of your beautiful US material! 🥰🥰
Et les biscuits sont des petit beurre LU ! je les adore ceux là. Pour ma part j'utilise souvent la crème fleurette je la trouve très bonne. Elle est plus douce en goût, moins acide que la crème fraîche traditionnelle. C'est une question de goût.
Hi Beth. The salt marsh was amazing!! I would have loved going there. I also kept wondering how he wasn't falling in. Lol. Great balance and experience. Did the salt you bought at the stall taste differently from what's sold in a grocery store?
The taste was the same, but the texture was even better! Lighter, crunchier! Just divine :)
Love, Fluer de sel! I have been to France, a number of times, but never toured that area.. next trip… Love your, podcast…beautiful life…loved your Father’s Programs,quite a Designer…nice Italian Family!😘❤️🌹🎉🇺🇸🇮🇹
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The salicorn reminds me of samphire that I’m obsessed with when I spend time in Great Britain during the summer months. I wonder if they are related.
They are the same thing!
@@An-Su18 something to look for in France then. Thank you. I really love samphire
I’m enjoying your French adventures. Btw, how and where can I store the caramel and for how long? ❤️
Oh yes having a ball! :) The best way to store the caramel is to cool it down and transfer it to a microwave safe container and refrigerate then, pop it in the microwave at :30 intervals until heated through :). I hope you enjoy!
Good morning Beth. I went into your Amazon page and did not find a suggestion for French Sea Salt. Do you recommend a salt? I thought you did before? Thank you. Teresa
Oh Sure my favorites are in this list here! Hope you enjoy! amzn.to/3Rxf6P0
🙂
I like your sunglasses. What brand are they?
Ha! Oh I'm so glad you like them! My teenage daughter bought them for me at Zara, claiming my other ones were "too granny!" they are a bit bigger than I'm used to, but they do a good job at hiding the wrinkles LOL! :)
How far is your place from Mont-Saint-Michel
Oh it's far maybe 3-4 hours :) But that's also a nice visit too!
What are your favorite types of salts for cooking and baking?
Great question! For cooking: Kosher Salt, for dry rubs, French Coarse Salt, for salads, dressings, and finishing, Fleur de sel! :)
Carte d'or is not french... it is danish.. it comes from the danish brand Frisko. :)
I think we may be speaking about different brands? Funny enough it's now owned by Unilever :) www.unilever.co.uk/brands/ice-cream/carte-dor/
French. Created in 1978. Now possession of Unilever.
Overheard on a Salt Marsh is my favorite poem! Give them me! No!
