Um, awesomeness? I'm only awarding 4 stars because I had to tweak it a tiny bit. I added the water and sugar to the saucepan and cooked until rich dark golden brown, then added the butter and cream. This did take more than a "pinch" of salt, IMO, but who knows what a real "pinch" is, anyway?? ;-) The consistency is perfect and the flavor is devine. Made to pour over Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake.

I am having a bad day with making desserts today. This did not turn out for me at all. I have another caramel sauce recipe I normally use, but wanted to try something different. Caramel sauces are very tricky in that, even the smallest crystal of sugar into the liquid sugar will crystalize it. I even used clean spoons to stir it. I made a 1/2 recipe, but that shouldn't have affected it. The recipe I normally use, has a spoonful of corn syrup in it. That aids in crystalization not happening. I got a caramel taffy lump sitting in some brown milk once I added in the cream. I really wanted this for a coffee recipe. Oh well, I guess I will be cleaning a pot for the next hour of hardened caramel. :(

Pretty good recipe for caramel and very easy to do. I used turbinado sugar and regular cream since I didn't have heavy on hand. It's pretty thin, but I did need it thin for the caramel apple salad I was making. Even though I never left the pot, I'm pretty sure I burnt the sugar. For what it's worth, I will be using this recipe again!

Simple and delicious! I'm scraping and eating the last bits of caramel out of the pan right now.

Incredible! Served with pecan pie (recipe from Brigsten's restaurant in New Orleans). I did allow the sugar to melt by itself first (1/2 brown, 1//white) before adding the hot cream, water and vanilla. Considered doubling the recipe but glad I didn't, 1 batch was more than enough and I have leftovers! Super easy and definitely on the regular dessert list now!

I was quite pleased with the end result. I will note it took 7 minutes for the sugar to dissolve and then another 10 to 13 minutes for it to reach the right shade. Added cream and then let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Set up lovely.
