Caramel Sauce

Hi Ya'll-

Sorry I've been a bit lax recently.  We're deep in the throws of wedding planning.  Our recipe of the day is caramel sauce.  It's great on ice cream, cheesecake, or just on a spoon.  Here's how you make it:


  1. Warm 2 cups of heavy cream in a pot
  2. In a separate pan (a heavy pan, preferably) boil 1.5 cups of sugar with .25 cups water.  You'll want to stir this until the sugar dissolves, then don't touch it as it caramelizes (turns medium brown).  Don't let it burn
  3. Take the caramelized sugar off the burner, and slowly add in the cream while stirring vigorously
  4. Add a bit of salt, and .25 cups of butter.  Let this whole mixture simmer down until it's the right thickness
  5. That's it!
