Caramel Sauce

Homemade caramel sauce is much better than store bought. My husband was the happiest man when I made this for him

Ingredients:
1 Cup granulated sugar
1/3 Cup water
3/4 Cup heavy cream
2 Tablespoon salted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:
1. Add sugar to a heavy bottomed saucepan. Shake it so it lies in an even flat layer. Add water to fully moisten the sugar.

2. Place saucepan over medium heat and cook until sugar dissolves and turns clear.

3. Turn heat up to medium high. Cook the caramel until it turns amber color, about 10 minutes.

4. Turn the heat off immediately. Remove from stove. Add the heavy cream. Add butter. Stir everything together until caramel is smooth.

If it is clumpy, place the pot on the stove to medium heat. Gently stir for a few minutes until it is smooth. Add vanilla extract when it is cooked. Let the caramel sauce cool to room temperature. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate.
