Salted Caramel Sauce with Rose Water and Orange Blossom
Description
The Salted Caramel Sauce with Rose Water and Orange Blossom begins by dissolving sugar in water and cooking it until it reaches a deep amber color. This method produces a rich caramel flavor without stirring during cooking to prevent crystal formation. Adding heavy cream off heat and whisking vigorously produces a creamy texture, despite initial thickening.
Butter enriches the sauce, contributing to a velvety mouthfeel. A final whisk in of sea salt cuts through the sweetness, while small amounts of rose water and orange blossom water impart delicate floral undertones without overpowering the caramel character. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and used to enhance a variety of desserts.
Its balanced flavor profile makes it distinctive and versatile, especially for those who appreciate floral essences in sweet sauces.
Carefully monitor sugar color to avoid burning during caramelization.Whisk cream in slowly to prevent caramel from seizing.Store in a glass jar refrigerated for up to two weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon rose water
- 1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and the water. Stir, then place the saucepan on the stove over medium high heat. Let it cook without stirring until sugar dissolves, then turns into the amber brown color of caramel. This will take around 10 minutes.
- Removing the pan from the heat, drizzle in the heavy cream slowly whisking while doing so. Return to the heat, and continue whisking. The caramel might seize up initially but will then smooth out over the heat.
- Add the butter, and whisk until combined. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the salt, rose water, and orange blossom water.
- Let the caramel cool slightly. It will thicken as it cools, then you can place it in a glass jar. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for two weeks or so.
Notes
- Watch the caramel carefully as it browns to avoid burning, as burnt caramel can impart bitterness.
- When adding cream, drizzle it in slowly while whisking to prevent the caramel from seizing.
- Store leftover sauce in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks; gently reheat before use.
