Homemade Caramel Sauce

1. 1

   Mix sugar and cornstarch.

2. 2

   Add sugar mix and water to a thick-bottomed pan on medium high heat.

3. 3

   Whisk sugar and water until smooth, but after this initial stir, dont mix!

4. 4

   Swirl syrup in the pan by using handles or pot holders.

5. 5

   You can also dip a pastry brush in some cold water and swirl the syrup with that.

6. 6

   The sugar crystals need time to bind together, but dont walk away!

7. 7

   It will take a few minutes, between 5-8 (10 at most), so just continue swirling periodically.

8. 8

   During this time prepare the butter and cream.

9. 9

   The mixture will continue to boil and will develop a caramel-ly color.

    Once the color starts deepening (mine stayed a medium color), thats when you know its ready for the next step.

11. 11

    Add the butter and mix until melted.

12. 12

    Wait a moment, and then add the cream.

13. 13

    Be careful!

    The mixture will most likely foam up to twice its size.

    Mix it together and remove from heat for the final time.

    Pour carefully into a glass jar for storage and use whenever you get a caramel craving!
