Salted Caramel Recipe

Salted Caramel Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients and measure them out before starting the cooking process. This ensures a smooth and efficient caramel-making experience.

2. 2

   Melt the Sugar

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until the sugar melts completely and turns a deep amber color. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the Butter

   Once the sugar has melted, carefully add the unsalted butter to the saucepan. The mixture will bubble rapidly, so be cautious. Stir the butter into the melted sugar until fully combined.

4. 4

   Incorporate the Cream

   Slowly pour the heavy cream into the saucepan while stirring continuously. The mixture will bubble again, so be careful. Keep stirring until the caramel is smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Add Salt and Vanilla

   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sea salt and vanilla extract. Mix well until both are fully incorporated.

6. 6

   Cool and Store

   Let the salted caramel cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a glass jar or container. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
