Salted Caramel Sauce

Now while all of you are getting excited about pumpkin spice everything, I’m over here drooling over salted caramel.

Salted caramel mocha? Yes please.

Salted caramel is just so good.

Did you know how easy it is to make your own salted caramel sauce?

Sugar, butter, cream, and salt.

That is all you need.

So how do those ingredients come together to create this?

To start off with you have to melt the sugar.  To do this pour your sugar into a tall sauce pan and place on medium high heat.  Be sure the pot is tall, when you add the butter and cream to the sugar it will bubble a ton.

You are going to want to stir the sugar.

Do not do this.

Keep the pan on the burner and swirl it every now and again.  Once the sugar starts melting, use a rubber spatula and gently move the sugar around.

Keep a careful eye on it, because it goes from nothing, to melted pretty quickly.

As soon as the the sugar is melted let it boil for a bit.  If you want a richer taste let it boil a tad longer.  But, be careful. If you let it boil too long, then it will burn.

Been there.  Done that.

As soon as the sugar is cooked to your liking, quickly add the butter and stir, stir, stir.  Remember it’s going to bubble a lot.  Be careful.  Boiling sugar and butter splattered on your hand does not feel good.

After the butter is mixed in, slowly add the cream, and stir, stir, stir again. Remember, its going to bubble a lot.

After you add the cream, take the caramel off the burner, add the salt and allow to cool.  As it cools it will thicken.  Once it is cooled pour it into a container to store.  It will keep for about two weeks in the fridge.  Simply microwave it for a bit.

There you have it.
