Ingredients:

• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Equipment:

• Medium-sized saucepan
• Whisk
• Heatproof spatula
• Jar or container for storage
• Meat thermometer

Directions:

1. Begin by heating the granulated sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Using a whisk, continuously stir the sugar until it begins to melt and turn into a light amber color.

2. Once the carmel reaches a golden-amber color, add the butter a few pieces at a time, continuously whisking until the butter has melted and incorporated into the caramel.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour in the cream while continuously stirring until the cream is completely incorporated into the carmel sauce.

4. Place the saucepan back on the heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the carmel sauce reaches a temperature of 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Check the temperature using a meat thermometer.

5. Once the temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

6. Let the carmel sauce cool to room temperature, then pour it into a jar or container for storage.

Tips:

• Be very careful when working with hot carmel. It can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with skin.
• Adding butter to the caramel helps to prevent the sauce from hardening when refrigerated.
• Stir the carmel continuously, so that it doesn't burn.
