Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Add the butter, cream, and brown sugar to a medium-size saucepot.
- Heat over low to medium heat while continuing to whisk until slightly boiling and smooth, which takes about 5 minutes.
- Finish by stirring in salt and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 hour ahead of time, just keep warm in a double boiler.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This will not freeze well.
- How to Reheat: Add the caramel to a sauce pan and heat over low heat while whisking until hot and more sauce-like.
- Be careful not to cook it too long as the fat will evaporate and the caramel will crystalize and burn.
