Salted caramel

Image
The Best and Easiest Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce. I've found this salted caramel sauce to be the best, easiest, least fussy, and it's ready in 15 minutes. The sauce is creamy, buttery, rich, thick, smooth, and blows away anything you'll ever buy. Even if you don't want it 'salty', a pinch of salt helps balance the sweetness so the sauce doesn't taste overly sweet. There are pleasant vanilla undertones, but the vanilla can be omitted or swapped with bourbon, rum, Grand Marnier, or a favorite liqueur. Depending on your pot and stove, the boiling time could range from about 5 minutes on the low end to about 10 to 12 minutes on the high end. The caramel sauce makes great gifts and keeps for months, but I doubt it will last long enough to give away. Yield: about 1 1/4 cups Prep Time: 2 minutes Cook Time: 5 to 12 minutes, or until caramel-colored Total Time: about 15 minutes Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoo...
