Instructions
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar and water until combined. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Swirl the pan approximately every 30 seconds to prevent burning, but you do not need to stir. Do so for approximately 12-15 minutes, until the caramel reaches a deep golden amber color.
- Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the lukewarm heavy cream; be careful as it will bubble up, just continue to whisk!
- Add butter, bourbon, vanilla extract, and sea salt, if using. Stir to combine, as the butter melts in.
- Let cool slightly and transfer to a heat-proof glass jar. The caramel will thicken as it cools. Store in the air-tight jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
- To reheat: Place in the microwave and heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the desired texture is reached.
- This recipe makes approximately 8 oz (1 cup) of sauce.
