Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ⅔ cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon size pieces
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Directions

• In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat. Make sure to use a saucepan thats a little bigger than what you think you will need. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved.
• Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stop stirring completely. Let the mixture continue boiling until it turns an amber color, this could take anywhere from 4-12 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up a lot, so make sure to do this very carefully. Mix until everything is well combined.
• Add the butter and stir well until the butter has melted completely.
• Add in the vanilla and salt, and stir until fully combined.
• Pour the caramel sauce into a dish and allow to cool completely, then cover tightly and store in the refrigerator.
