Salted Caramel Sauce
Yield: about 1 cup
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream, room temperature or warm
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 to 1 teaspoon favorite sea salt, prefer fleur de sel
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a heavy saucepan. Over medium-low heat, stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, without stirring. Use a wet silicone pastry brush to wash down any sugar crystals on the side of the pan to avoid the caramel from crystallizing. Boil the liquid until the syrup is a golden or take to deep amber color, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully whisk in the cream. The mixture will bubble up furiously. Gently whisk in the butter. When combined, stir in the salt. Pour the caramel into a head safe container and allow to cool until ready to use. Stir before using. Enjoy!
Chef Tip: Refrigerate for 1 week or freeze for 1 month. Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste may also be added. Corn syrup may be substituted with lemon juice if preferred. Great with EVERYTHING!
