Ingredients

  • 2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

    • In a medium stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine the sugar, cream, butter, vanilla, and salt, stir- ring gently with a whisk. The sugar will bubble up and cook down. After the bubbles have cooked down, about 5 minutes, stir until the sauce is as thick as you want and remove from the heat.
    • Spoon into containers and use immediately, store in the fridge for a few days, or put away in the freezer. Leave 1/2 inch of headspace if freezing.
