For a salted caramel, increase the amount of salt to 1/4 teaspoon or more, to taste. If the caramel seizes or clumps up when you add the cream, don't panic! Continue stirring over low heat, and it will eventually smooth out. Store the cooled caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before using.

01 Step
Recipe View In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and butter. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Heat over medium heat, allowing the butter to melt and the sugar to dissolve completely without stirring. Once dissolved, increase the heat slightly and cook uncovered, swirling the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization, until the mixture turns a deep amber color. (5-10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Remove from heat. Very carefully pour in the heavy cream in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula or whisk. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Add the vanilla extract and sea salt. Return the saucepan to low heat and continue stirring until the caramel is smooth, creamy, and homogenous. (3-5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Remove from heat and let the caramel sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a heat-proof jar or container. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before using. Caramel will thicken as it cools. (30 minutes)
