I love vegemite (it’s my patriotic duty), but I’ve never thought to use it in desserts. I just won’t tell people what it is before they eat it :)

Niall! – Thanks for dropping by! It’s delicious, give it another try. Marmite, now that’s horrible! :P

Carolyn – Thank you. I assure you it’s delicious.

As a born and bred Californian of Asian heritage, I confess I’ve never had Vegemite, though I have heard of it. How intriguing that you can make caramel out of it. I do love the interplay of salty and sweet, so this rendition of caramel sounds amazing.

I wonder if I can get ahold of some vegemite here? I am dying to try it, especially like this!

Only an Aussie could be making vegemite caramel! I have worked with so many Aussie chefs over the years and they are all mad about the stuff and literally take it with them wherever they go! Overseas readers of this blog are probably trying to work out what the hell it is. For their information it is a HORRIBLE Australian delicacy! The photo looks good though :)

vegemite isn’t big here in the states, and i fully admit that what little i know of it, scares me. putting it next to the word “caramel” definitely helps, though.

Caramelised vegemite.. that’s one thing I’ve never heard of before but that won’t stop me from trying it out!

Tina – Thanks for pointing this out! Pouring cream is Single cream which is 18% fat. I believe that’s higher than half and half which is about 12%. Therefore, I think an equivalent would be US Light Cream.

I’ll change this recipe ingredient to Single Cream to make it easier for everyone to identify. Thanks again!

Ooh, I LOVE vegemite. Can you help out a poor Canadian with your lingo though? What is ‘pouring cream’? Is that like hald-and-half? Table cream? Whipping cream?

You’re quite mad you do know right darling? ;) No seriously, I can see how it would work completely and I love salted caramel.

Helene – Thanks very much! That’s sweet of you.

Jude – Yes! Get a jar today.

Belle – I haven’t tried, but I guess so. They’re a bit sweeter than Vegemite though.

Bron – Oooh, let me know how you go please!

Marc – I’ll send you a mini tube – you have to try it!

Vegemite hater though I am, this does look/sound kinda good. If I didn’t have to buy a whole tub of vegemite I’d totally try it!

The reason I like Vegemite over Marmite is because Vegemite doesn’t have added sugar, however the caramel sauce has me very intrigued so will have to give it a try!

This is great. Do you think Promite or Marmite would work too?!

It does sounds pretty wacky but I’m so interested in trying it. Need a jar of vegemite :)
