Salted Caramel Sauce
Report
Making a caramel sauce is easy, and homemade sauce tastes so much better than the sauce you buy at the store.

Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 Tablespoon salt for salted caramel sauce or 1/8 teaspoon salt for basic caramel sauce
Instructions
- Decide if you are making salted caramel sauce or not. Use 1 Tablespoon of salt for salted and 1/8 teaspoon of salt for basic caramel sauce.
- Measure the half and half and butter and take them out of the refrigerator. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Put the sugar in a large sauce pan (larger than you think you will need) and melt it over medium heat.
- Stir the sugar constantly. It will form clumps and then melt after about 8 minutes.
- Once the sugar has completely melted continue to stir it slowly, and watch it carefully. With in a minute or two the color will change to a dark amber color. If you wait too long the sugar will burn. Err on the side of taking it off too soon!
- When the color changes add the butter and stir to melt. The caramel will foam quite a bit at this point.
- Then remove the pan from the heat and slowly stir in the half and half. More foaming will occur. Once the half and half is added stir in the amount of salt you decided to add.
- Then pour the sauce into a glass jar and cool completely.
- Refrigerate once cooled.
