PIES AND TACOS
This Caramel Sauce recipe is so easy to make.
To make this recipe you won’t need a candy thermometer. Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan. Place over medium heat, and stir the sugar constantly, until it melts.
First the mixture will look lumpy, with a lot of bits of crystallized sugar, but slowly all the crystals will melt. If the sauce is getting too dark, remove it from the heat, and continue to stir.
Once all the crystals have melted and the sauce is smooth and has a light amber color, turn to medium low heat, and add the butter to the pan.
Cook the sauce until the bubbling subsides and the butter melts with the syrup. The sauce should be smooth and have a deep amber color. Add the vanilla and salt to the pan and stir to combine.
If you don’t like salted caramel sauce, feel free to leave the salt completely out. Pour the sauce in a bowl. Let the sauce cool down completely, then cover and store in the fridge.
Besides the obvious, which is to drizzle over ice cream, you can use this homemade caramel sauce in so many different ways!
