I saw this frosting recipe and I almost cried. I believe it is the long, lost cooked frosting my neighbor made when I was a child. She never used a recipe or measured anything she cooked, but she made this frosting and cooked it to different degrees and flavored it in different ways. She used it (not as caramel) for coconut cake and it was the only coconut cake I would eat as a child. She has been gone many years and was a grandmother to me, her son had been like a brother to my Dad, and I am so grateful that it has been shared.
