Caramel Sauce
Homemade caramel sauce has a rich fresh taste and outshines store bought caramel. It is rather fast, and simple to make. Perfect for apples, ice-cream, cake, brownies, or my favorite french toast!
- Prep Time: 1
- Cook Time: 6
- Total Time: 7 minutes
- Yield: 1 cup 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 c sugar
- 1/2 c heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar into your sauce-pot to cover the bottom of the pot
- Turn the burner to medium heat and allow the sugar to melt. As it becomes liquid, sprinkle more granulated sugar over the melting sugar until all the sugar has been added.
- Use a rubber spatula to gently drag the granules of sugar into the liquid sugar. Aggressive stirring is not necessary, just move the sugar around for even cooking
- The sugar will begin to caramelize very quickly once it melts. Turn the heat to low and once it has a golden color, remove from the heat
- Slowly whisk in the heavy cream in very small increments. Stir in sea salt. Pour into serving container.
Notes
You do not want to “candy” the sugar, do not add the heavy cream in too quickly.
