For the Homemade Caramel

• Prepare all of your ingredients before starting the process of making the caramel.
• To a saucepan add 1 1/2 cups (300g) of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) of water. Give the mix a very slight stir just to evenly distribute the water. Then remove the spatula and turn the burner to medium/high heat.
• It is important not to stir the sugar water mixture while it toasts. If you would like to make sure the heat is distributing evenly, swirl the pan slightly from time to time.
• The mixture will bubble fiercely and turn light yellow, then light brown and then a deep amber. Pull the sugar off of the heat at your preferred color keeping in mind that the deeper the color, the bolder the flavor!
• Once you've pulled the sugar off of the heat, add 6 Tbsp (85g) of unsalted butter at room temperature to the saucepan. Whisk vigorously until the butter fully melts.
• Add in 1/2 cup (120ml) of heavy cream at room temperature and whisk again until combined.
• Add in 3/4 tsp of salt and mix! That's it-homemade caramel complete!
• Leave the caramel to cool for 10-15 minutes and then use as desired!
