Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over high heat, cook the granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it is melted and forms a caramel-colored liquid. The sugar will clump, but just keep stirring!
- Once the sugar is completely melted, add the butter. The caramel will bubble up, but that is okay. Stir the butter into the sugar until it is completely melted. Very slowly, pour in the heavy cream while continuing to stir. Once all of the heavy cream has been added, boil for one minute. Remove from the heat and add the salt. Stir to combine.
- Allow to cool completely. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate. Use within 10-14 days.
Notes
- You may reheat the salted caramel slightly in the microwave before serving.
- Makes 1 to 1 1/2 cups, depending on how it cooks down and how much you thicken it.
