Salty Caramel Sauce
Cook It Right
|
1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup salted butter Directions: In a heavy based saucepan, heat the sugar and water, stirring only once or twice, until the sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly without stirring until the syrup begins to brown around the edge of the pan. Continue cooking over medium heat until done, 1 to 2 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally so the syrup colors evenly. Once it starts to brown, it colors quickly. When the caramel is dark, remove the pan from the heat and let the bubbles subside. Add the butter, stir until smooth, and then pour in the cream. Note: stand well back, as the caramel will sputter and foam when butter and cream are added. Serve it with fruit or over ice cream. |
