Homemade Caramel (Recipe)


Ingredients:

* 1 cup sugar 

* 6 tablespoons butter (room temperature) 

* 1/2 cup cream

* 1 teaspoon sea salt 


Instructions:

1. In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, heat the sugar on medium low heat until its completely melted, swirling the pan gently every 20 seconds or so. The sugar will start to form clumps before melting slowly. Be patient and keep an eye on it to make sure it does not burn. 







2. Once melted, remove from heat immediately and stir in the butter. The mixture will violently bubble, you are doing it just right! 



3. Next, pour in the heavy cream and sea salt. Stir until everything is combined. 


                  


4. Pour into a small bowl or cup and allow to cool completely before using. 


NOTES:  Make sure you use a high quality butter. Caramel is made from so few ingredients that the butter and cream's quality really shines through. 
For thicker caramel, only add 1/3 cup of cream. Feel free to add any additions you feel like at the end. We love to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger and so many other options. 




Caramel can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for 1 month or in the freezer for 3 months!!
