Instructions

STOVETOP INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Put all ingredients (except for the vanilla) in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Cook and stir over medium low heat. Stir constantly. You don't want the mixture to stick to the bottom or burn.
  3. The mixture will slowly begin to thicken and darken in color. Keep stirring.
  4. Cook and stir until the mixture is making big slow bubbles and is very thick. The mixture will have been simmering for 45-60 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks, and stir in the vanilla.

MICROWAVE INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Put all ingredients (except for the vanilla) in a a large deep heat proof bowl. Heat and stir ingredients in 40 second intervals. Watch closely, as the mixture gets hotter, begin string every 30 seconds. You don't want your ingredients to spill out of the bowl. Repeat for about 25 times or until the caramel sauce is golden and thick.
