Salted Caramel
Rich and delicious homemade salted caramel sauce!
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 6 tbsps unsalted butter, at room temp (85 gms)
- 1/2 cup cream, at room temp (regular or heavy/whipping cream)
- 2 tsps salt, 1 tsp if using salted butter
Instructions
- Choose a sturdy, wide saucepan that doesn't burn easily. On low heat, melt the sugar, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. Watch the sugar like a hawk. It will begin to form lumps and look gritty after about a minute. Slowly you'll see it melting down, going from a clear liquid to amber pretty quick. Stir till it melts down completely.
- Add the butter and watch your hands because the mixture will splutter and bubble up quite a bit. Stir again till the butter melts into the sugar.
- Now slowly pour in the cream and watch out for more spluttering and bubbling.
- Once the cream has blended in, allow the sauce to boil for 1 minute. It will rise and froth some more.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the salt. Pour into heat resistant jars once it has cooled for about 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then cover and store in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Drizzle over your favourite drinks and desserts!
