Caramel Sauce

By Reneeb

Ingredients

• 2 cup(s) sugar
• 1/2 pint(s) heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cover pan; bring to a boil. Leave cover on until condensation washes down insides of pan. If syrup crystallizes, let crystallize completely, and push around bottom of saucepan with the back of a wooden spoon until it melts again. Raise heat to medium high; cook, swirling pan occasionally, until the sugar turns medium-dark amber. Carefully add cream, standing back in case sugar boils over, and scrape in vanilla seeds. Stir until cream is incorporated, and remove from heat. Let cool; transfer to a glass jar, bottle, or bowl for storing and serving.
