In “Morning Tea”, I have included a recipe for Caramel Slice, the recipe that I cherish from my lost loved one and that is now mine to share with you. I hope you enjoy baking your Caramel Slice and all of the simple recipes in “Morning Tea” and sharing them with someone you love. Someone special with whom, together, you can share your own hope for life.
