Easy Carmel Sauce
This easy Carmel sauce only has a few ingredients and it's a perfect staple for the holidays.It can be used as dip, sauce, topping, etc.
Ingredients
- 1 c sugar
- 1/4 c water
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1/2 c heavy cream room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Only swirl the pan gently at this point.
- Once it comes to a boil and turns caramely brown, add in the butter and stir it gently. You should use a wooden spoon but I used what I had on hand.
- Next pour in the vanilla and pinch of salt, then stir some more. If any of the sugar starts to crystallize again, wet your spoon and scrape the sides down and stir until it dissolves.
- Remove the pan from the heat then stir in the heavy cream.
- Let it cool a bit then transfer it to your glass jar. Just make sure your jar is room temp or warm so it doesn’t shatter from the hot and cold.
- Store it in the fridge and when you’re ready to use it, scoop out what you need then heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds so it’s saucy again.
