Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream warm
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns a rich amber color.
  • Once the sugar is melted, add the cubed butter and stir until fully melted.
  • Slowly pour in the warm heavy cream while stirring constantly to create a silkier texture.
  • Remove from heat, then whisk in sea salt and vanilla extract. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Transfer the sauce to a heat-proof jar and let sit at room temperature until warm. Seal and chill to thicken.

Notes

Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Double the batch and freeze half for emergencies. Adjust sweetness by experimenting with sugar types.
