Notes

  • If you don’t have a pastry brush to wipe sugar from the sides of the saucepan, you can occasionally pick up the saucepan and gently swirl the water instead.
  • The cream should be at room temperature before you add it to the caramel—if the cream is too cold, it will create a significant amount of hot steam. 
  • If you want your caramel sauce to cool down quickly so you can use it, transfer it into a wider and more shallow container. 
  • Making caramel sauce requires patience. Most of the process involves waiting for the sugar to melt and resisting the urge to stir it, as this will produce burnt sugar crystals.
  • Making caramel simple syrup is easier than making caramel sauce, and primarily involves dissolving sweet flavors into boiling water.
