Instructions

1 To make this caramel sauce, you will need to add the water into a medium, heavy
duty saucepan.
2 Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Stirring frequently, this
should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
3 Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up and bring to the boil.
4 At this point, stop stirring the sauce. Occasionally, gently swirl the mixture
around in the pan and brush the sides down with a wet silicon brush.
5 Cook while swirling until the mixture turns a deep amber colour. This can take
anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes.
6 Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cream, the butter and vanilla
extract until the butter has melted and the caramel is smooth. If you are adding
the salt, add it here. Just a note, the mixture will bubble up here, so be
careful when adding the ingredients and mixing.
7 Set the saucepan aside, and let the caramel cool for about 15 minutes before
pouring into a glass jar for storage.
8 Store in the fridge for up to one month.
