By francesn

Ingredients

• Caramel Sauce (makes 1 cup):
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• dash of salt
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir slowly until caramel has thickened, 8-10 minutes, then add vanilla and stir until thickened again, 1 more minute. Remove from heat then let cool slightly. Can be done ahead of time - cool caramel sauce slightly then pour into a mason jar using a funnel and store in the refrigerator. Warm for 30 seconds in the microwave before using.
