Preparation Steps

• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
• Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Let it boil until it turns an amber color.
• Carefully add the heavy cream, whisking continuously as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
• Remove from heat and add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well combined.
• Let the caramel sauce cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a jar and allow it to cool to room temperature.
