Caramel Sauce

By sassy47

Ingredients

• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter *
• 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
• 1/2 cup half and half or use equal parts heavy cream and milk
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a small/medium saucepan and simmer over low heat, whisking constantly or until thickened and no longer watery (6-9 min). Keep in mind it thickens more as it cools. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. You can re-warm it slightly to make it more drizzle-able.
Recipe Notes

*If using salted butter, reduce salt to 1/2 tsp or add it to taste.
