Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into pieces
- 3/4 cup heavy cream warm
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Making the Caramel Sauce
- Combine sugar and water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat to medium-high and cook without stirring until the mixture turns deep amber, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the butter until melted and smooth.
- Gradually pour in the warm heavy cream, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the sea salt, then let the caramel cool slightly before transferring it to a jar.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are measured accurately for best results. Be very careful when adding butter and cream, as the mixture will bubble up vigorously. The caramel will thicken as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
