With a rich, buttery sweetness and a hint of saltiness, Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce is both irresistible and versatile. Best of all, it's ready in just 10 minutes using basic ingredients.
Add the water to a saucepan, then pour in the sugar (Note: don’t stir, but just allow the sugar to melt into the water - you don’t want to splash the sugar against the sides).
Bring to the boil over a medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until it turns a rich amber colour and/or the food thermometer reads 175°C/350°F.
Remove the pan from the heat and very carefully (the sugar water is HOT!) whisk in the cream. It will bubble up a lot. Then stir in the vanilla and salt.
Allow to cool, then store in a sterilised glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
