Makes about
Note – If you don’t want to make your own salted caramel sauce, Trader Joe’s sells Fleur de Sel Salted Caramel Sauce, which I swear by. Williams-Sonoma has a Salted Caramel Sauce for four times the price of the Trader Joe’s sauce.
1 cup
granulated sugar
1/4 cup
water
3/4 cup
heavy cream or half and half (I use half and half)
1 tbsp
vanilla extract
2 tbsp
rum, optional
1/4 cup
butter (half of 1 stick, salted or unsalted may be used)
1/2
to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste (or omit salt for regular caramel sauce)
