Preparation

Step 1

1.In a medium saucepan, heat sugar over medium-high until melted and brown at edges, 3 minutes. With a heat-resistant spatula, pull melted sugar toward center until all sugar is melted and caramel is deep amber in color, 3 minutes more.

2.Immediately whisk in butter, coarse salt, and pure vanilla extract (take care as mixture is extremely hot and will bubble).

3.Whisk in heavy cream.

4.Pour into a heatproof container and let cool. (To store, refrigerate, up to 3 weeks.)
