Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
- ¾ cup heavy cream room temperature
Instructions
- Add the sugar to your saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue to heat the sugar until melted and smooth.
- Add the room-temperature butter 1 tablespoon at a time (it will bubble up), whisking until fully melted and incorporated into the sugar.
- Remove from heat and slowly pour in the room-temperature cream, whisking as you pour it.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes at room temperature, then transfer to a mason jar or other wide-mouth container (see notes) and store in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Notes
Note: the caramel sauce will be liquid when warm but will solidify in the fridge. Be sure to store it in a container that you can heat in the microwave and/or scoop from if needed.
This makes about 1.5 cups of caramel sauce!
