Step-by-step preparation
Step 1:
How to make homemade caramel sauce? We will prepare the products. Take the fattest cream.
Step 2:
Put the cream on a small fire, they should be brought to a boil, but do not boil.
Step 3:
Next we will melt sugar. This should be done in a bowl with a thick bottom, I have a saucepan, you can take a cast-iron frying pan or a cauldron. Pour sugar into a saucepan and put it on a small fire. Now we have to be patient and wait until it starts to melt. You can not interfere, we will get a lollipop, you can only shake the pan slightly.
Step 4:
When the sugar is almost all melted and acquires a caramel color, we take a wooden or silicone spatula and vigorously stir it to melt all the crystals. Remove from the heat. I burned the sugar a little bit, it's better to shoot with a lighter caramel color.
Step 5:
Immediately put butter in the melted sugar. The caramel will begin to boil, do not be afraid, but be careful. Stir well until the butter melts. It's a matter of one minute, because sugar is very hot.
Step 6:
The next step is to pour hot cream into the caramel. We return the pan to the fire and pour them in a thin trickle in several passes, all the while working with a spatula. Add salt. The mass is actively bubbling and can start spitting. Be careful!
Step 7:
When all the cream is poured in and well mixed, leave the caramel to cook for another three minutes. Do not forget to interfere! Then remove from the heat and cool.
Step 8:
Pour the cooled salted caramel into a jar, store it in the refrigerator. From this number of products, I got such a jar.
The most important step in the preparation of caramel is the melting of sugar. Do it on the smallest fire so as not to burn it. The color should turn amber. The taste of the future caramel depends on the taste of sugar, so treat the process of melting sugar with all care.
Don't be surprised that salt is present in the ingredients, it has long been recognized that salt added to sweet dishes only enhances and emphasizes their taste. Salt can be added not to hot caramel, but to already cooled. Take a large sea one - it will be an explosion of taste on your tongue!
