Salted Caramel Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. Stir continuously until sugar begins to melt. Continue stirring until the sugar melts completely, begins to darken and all the chunks are dissolved, about 10 minutes. Stop stirring and continue to cook until the sugar begins to smoke and turns a dark shade of amber, 3 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and wait 30 seconds.
• Whisk in butter until melted and combined. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cream, taking care because it can bubble over. Sprinkle in salt and stir to combine. Transfer sauce to a jar and cool completely before refrigerating.

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, without stirring. If necessary, use a wet pastry brush to wash down any crystals on the side of the pan. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the sugar from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter, and salt. Transfer the caramel to a dish and cool.
• Uses for Salted Caramel Sauce: Salted Caramel Dip with Harvest Apples: Package the sauce with seasonal apples for making caramel apples or simply dip the apple slices into the caramel sauce. Carmelitas: Attach a recipe for a classic carmelitas recipe to the jarred caramel sauce suggesting using the sauce in the recipe. Salted Caramel Milkshake: Add the salted caramel sauce to basic vanilla milkshake recipe, recipe follows.
• Salted Caramel Milkshake: Combine the ice cream, milk, and caramel sauce in a blender and blend until smooth.

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Cook the sugar until it melts and begins to turn a caramel colour.
• Give the caramel a stir to blend in any uncooked sugar.
• Once all the sugar has turned to liquid caramel, remove the pan from the heat and dip the base of the pan into cold water VERY BRIEFLY to stop the caramel from cooking further.
• Carefully stir in the cream (the mixture may splatter and foam), add the butter, and place the pan over low heat, stirring until all the caramel is dissolved.
• Let cool slightly before servinng.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium saucepan. If using the vanilla bean, scrape the seeds from it and add the seeds and pod to the pan (if using extract, you will add it later). Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. You can stir the mixture before it comes to a boil to help dissolve the sugar but stop stirring the moment it starts to boil. Then continue to boil the syrup until it becomes a medium amber color. Once the syrup starts to color, tilt the pan occasionally-it's easier to see the true color of the caramel when you're looking at less of it (otherwise it may seem darker than it really is).
• As soon as the caramel is close to medium amber, turn off the heat-the caramel will retain heat and continue to cook, so you want to allow for the carry-over cooking. Add the butter and stir gently to combine. Stir in the cream (be careful-the caramel is likely to bubble up and steam a lot; just keep stirring and it will die down). The sauce should be smooth and creamy. If it seized up and you see chunks of caramel, return the pan to low heat and stir occasionally until the sauce is smooth, then remove from the heat.
• Stir in the salt and the vanilla extract, if using. Let cool to room temperature. The sauce may firm up as it sits. If necessary, rewarm the sauce in 15-second bursts in the microwave to make it more fluid.
• Do Ahead: The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, spread sugar; cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat until it begins to melt. Gently drag melted sugar to center of pan so sugar melts evenly. Cook, without stirring, until melted sugar turns a medium-dark amber, 5-10 minutes. Immediately remove from heat, then slowly stir in cream, butter, salt and almond extract.

Steps:

• Place heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a larger saucepan place sugar and corn syrup. When the cream/butter mixture is boiling, add the fleur de sel, stir, then strain into a bowl and set aside. Meanwhile the sugar/corn syrup mixture should be in the early stages of melting and turning to caramel. Gently move the darker, melted parts of the sugar around the pot, so everything cooks to the same consistency. Bring the caramel to an amber color until a thermometer registers 145 degrees C (and up to 160 degrees C), then turn off the heat and add the cream/butter mixture, a little bit at a time (the mixture will bubble up). Turn on the heat and cook to 120 C degrees. Turn off the heat, remove the thermometer and pour the caramel into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• When caramel is cool, remove from the pan. Using a small paring knife go around the edge and flip over onto parchment paper sprayed with non-stick spray. Give it a quick tap and when it comes out remove the parchment paper. Cut into small pieces (about 5 dozen) using a knife or scissors. Place a caramel in the middle of a wrapper, wrap and twist the ends.

Steps:

• Combine sugar, water, salt, and cream of tartar in a heavy duty 2 quart saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
• Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from the sides of the pan.
• Remove cover, and cook without stirring, to a soft crack stage.(270 degrees or just a bit more) Watch carefully for it to turn light amber. If it turns dark amber, it is burnt. Add the butter and whisk it in quickly.
• Remove from heat; add cream and whisk it inches.
• Serve warm over ice cream, fresh fruit, cake, or apple crisp.
