SALTED CARAMEL

  • Measure out the heavy cream and butter, keeping them cold.
  • Add water, white sugar, and corn syrup to a medium saucepan. Mix well and set over medium heat.
  • Once the mixture is bubbling, swirl the pan, and brush down the sides if needed.
  • Once the mixture takes on a golden color, gently swirl often and monitor closely.
  • Add butter one tablespoon at a time, whisking well in between, then add cream, vanilla, and salt.
  • Pour into a heat safe container and allow to cool, then refrigerate.
  • Caramel can be made 1-2 days ahead, stored in the fridge. Reheat to achieve pourable consistency.
