Caramel Sauce

 

I like caramel sauce on my ice cream or other fun things like caramel apples.  If you buy it in the store it is very expensive so this is a recipe I found that is a good caramel sauce.

Recipe yields 1 1/2 cups (although I usually double it but it’s just
as easy to only make a half batch)

1 cup packed brown sugar (I use light brown or golden)
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
Pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Melt butter in pot, mix in brown sugar, cream and salt.
Cook over medium-low heat and whisk gently
for about 7 minutes or longer if you doubled.
I remove the pot from the heat; add vanilla and return to
cook for another minute or so to thicken a bit more.
Take it off the stove and pour into a jar then pop it into the
fridge!
