Caramel Sauce

Directions

1. 1
   In a heavy bottom saucepan (5 cup pan or larger), stir together the sugar, corn syrup and water. Let the water soak into the sugar until completely moist.
2. 2
   Heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture is bubbling.
3. 3
   Stop stirring and allow mixture to boil undisturbed until it turns a deep amber color (about the color of an amber beer).
4. 4
   Once you have achieved the desired color, immediately remove mixture from heat. Slowly add in your warmed heavy cream.
5. 5
   Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula and begin to slowly stir the mixture until smooth. Make sure to scrape the thicker parts at the bottom and mix in so you get a nice smooth consistency. If you begin to get lumps, put mixture back on stove and heat for a moment. Remove and re-stir. When mixture is complete add in Vanilla and Salt.
