To Make The Caramel

• Put all of the sugar into a saucepan and start to warm it on a medium heat.
• After a few minutes, when the sugar is warm add the butter and whisk it in.
• You need to whisk this continuously until all of the sugar has dissolved and a sticky sauce has developed.
• Turn down the heat and slowly add the cream. Be careful as the caramel might spit at this stage. Mix the cream in fully.
• Add the Vanilla extract and Salt , then continue stirring with a whisk.
• Remove the caramel from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature before using.
• The Caramel will thicken as it cools.

This is great as a sauce to drizzle over a pudding, or for filing a Fondant cake...
