Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel.
- 1 cup whole pecans
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a low boil, swirling the saucepan gently, but not stirring. Keep the mixture constantly moving.
- Simmer until the mixture is syrupy and a deep caramel color, about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove mixture from heat and whisk in butter and cream, being mindful that the mixture will spit and sizzle, so be careful. Whisky vigorously until it reaches a smooth, sticky consistency.
- Whisk in vanilla and fleur de sel.
- Stir in whole pecans.
- Depending on the recipe, allow your caramel sauce to cool or serve hot.
