This sauce can be made in about 15 minutes or less. Who doesn't love Caramel Sauce? A jar of this makes a great gift or serve as a topping for pound cake or ice cream. I just might have a surprise coming up that involves this fabulous sauce.
Homemade Caramel Sauce
Yield 1 3/4 cups
print recipe
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine sugar and water in a large heavy saucepan; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high, and boil gently,without stirring, until syrup turns a deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush and swirling pan (about 8 minutes). (Swirling the pan, instead of stirring, promotes more even cooking.) Gradually add cream (sauce will bubble vigorously). Add butter; stirring gently until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
