Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon corn syrup light
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a medium to large saucepan, add sugar, water and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking until sugar is dissolved.
  • Boil mixture for 5 to 12 minutes, until it turns caramel-colored. Only stir if necessary during this step. Watch very closely after the first 5 minutes and do not let it burn – the mixture will change from pale amber to caramel color very quickly. When it does, reduce heat to low.
  • Very slowly and carefully add cream, stirring gently. The mixture may bubble up considerably, so stand back if needed. (This is why you are using a large-ish sized pan)
  • Add vanilla and salt, to taste.
  • Whisk until sauce is combined and smooth, then let boil for one minute to thicken.
  • Transfer sauce to a glass or other heat-safe container. Allow to cool, uncovered, to room temperature. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Sauce will keep in an airtight container at least a month at room temperature.
