How to Make Caramel Sauce {Salted}

The best part about making this “candy” recipe is that it doesn’t require any special tools.

I have had my share of candy failures; however, this recipe is so easy to achieve perfect results every time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (room temperature)
• 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional flake salt for garnish) 

Supplies

• Heavy bottomed saucepan
• Whisk
• Bamboo spoon
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Jar (this is the size I use)

**For your convenience, I have gathered my must-have baking supplies HERE.

The cream I used is heavy whipping cream (unwhipped in a carton).

 

Place an even layer of sugar in the bottom of the heavy saucepan.

Heat the sugar over medium-high heat, shirring only when it begins to melt. 

The sugar will start to clump together as it melts.

Stir the melting sugar and allow it to cook until it turns a dark amber color (the color of brown sugar).

Add the butter room and whisk.

 

 

Next, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons salt, stir and remove from heat.

Slowly add the cream, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Stop stirring as soon as the cream is incorporated.

Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
