How To Make caramel sauce
-
Step 1Pre-measure the heavy cream and have it next to the stove.
-
Step 2Cook the sugar, pinch of salt and water over medium-high heat. Initially, stir to combine the sugar and water; then only stir occasionally.
-
Step 3Once it comes to a bubbling boil, watch and stir occasionally not constantly (or it will take too long for the sugar to change to an amber color). It should take 8-10 minutes after it starts boiling to turn an amber color.
-
Step 4After it turns amber, turn the heat down immediately to low and add the heavy cream. Stir the caramel very briskly. The caramel will bubble up but keep stirring until it calms down.
-
Step 5Next, add the vanilla and stir until it’s nicely combined.
-
Step 6Insert a candy thermometer and turn the heat up to medium. Stir occasionally. When the thermometer is between 225-230 degrees it’s done. This should take 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Step 7Take it off the heat and stir until it stops bubbling. Pour into a container to cool.
