Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt ((up to 1 teaspoon can be used, if you like a more pronounced salty taste))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instruction

  • In a small pot, gently heat the cream, butter, and salt until the butter has melted and the salt has completely dissolved.
  • Remove from heat and add the vanilla.
  • In a larger pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water.
  • Cook over medium-high heat, swirling the pot occasionally to distribute the heat evenly.
  • Continue to boil the sugar mixture until the bubbles begin to get smaller and it becomes amber-colored.
  • Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the warm cream mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps or crystals.
  • Immediately transfer the hot mixture to a heat-safe vessel and cool completely.
