Caramel Sauce

Caramel Sauce

 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 cups cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Maldon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
  1. In a medium nonreactive saucepan and without stirring, bring sugar, water, corn syrup, and lemon juice to simmer over medium-high heat, wiping sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals that might cause syrup to turn grainy.
  2. Continue to cook until syrup turns from clear to golden, swirling pan gently to ensure even browning, about 8 minutes.
  3. Continue to cook, swirling pan gently and constantly, until large, slow bubbles on mixture’s surface turn honey-caramel in color, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
  4. Add 1 1/4 cups cream (mixture will spatter) and cook, stirring, until all of caramel has dissolved.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and stir in sea salt and vanilla.
  6. Cool to room temperature.
