caramel fondue

By momofsixplus1

you simply won't believe how good it is!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
• 1 tsp vanilla
• large pinch kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tsp light corn syrup

Preparation

Step 1

in a deep heavy saucepan, bring the cream to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and salt.

in a different saucepan(light colored-stainless steel is fine-since you'll need to see the color of the caramel as it cooks), stir together the sugar, water, and corn syrup. bring to a boil over medium heat and cook without stirring until mixture starts to turn golden around the edges., 5-10 minutes.

continue cooking, swirling the pan by the handle, until the sugar turns a deep amber(but before it turns a smoking black), about 2 minutes. remove from heat and add the hot cream. be careful. it will froth up very high and steam.

stir until the caramel is nice and smooth, then pour it carefully into a fondue pot or bowl. (you won't need a heat source for this)
allow to cool for 10 minutes or so before eating.
