because my husband is a big fan of any caramelized edible 'thing', i have decided to make my homemade caramel sauce for him, ready at home. restocked continuously.
many have asked about the recipe and it is super duper easy. with the very minimal ingredients, you can have it on your ice cream, on your pie, on your cake, in your dark coffee, in your smoothie, anywhere you want to, anytime you want it.. so here's the recipe...
what you need are:
1) 1 cup of sugar
2) 4 tbs of water/corn syrup/maple syrup
3) 3/4 cup or 200ml heavy cream
4) 2-3 tbs of unsalted butter
5) pinch of salt(cause it is salted caramel sauce :p)
6) 1 tsp of vanilla extract
how to make it?
1) in a pot, at medium heat, cook sugar with liquid. any of your choices(water, corn syrup, maple syrup). i moscow i hardly find the corn syrup so i sub it with 2 tbs of water and 2 tbs of maple syrup. in this step, you dont wanna stir it because it will be a sticking rock on your spatula. just swirl it!
2) when the color change to honey-amber colour, add in heavy cream and you can stir it now. very quickly for 1-2mins and remove from the heat
3) add in butter. stir to incorporate and add all other remaining ingredients
4) let them cool in a jar and voila!
5) 'life span' of caramel sauce is about 2 weeks max in the fridge.
p/s: i am particular and very fussy about taste of food i consume. so it does matter if u take an easy way to replace unsalted butter with salted butter and deduct the salt because it tastes different i dont know why. but if u insist, try using high quality branded salted butter :)
