Caramel Sauce

Caramel sauce can be used as a topping for cheesecake, icecream (maybe with a dash of sea salt?), or for pumpkin scones.   This recipe is one that I have adapted from Alice's Tea Cup, a cookbook written by Haley & Lauren Fox, owners of "New York's most whimisical tea spot".  It is easy to make and stores nicely in the fridge or freezer.  Simply warm up to use.
 


Caramel Sauce
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt   
1/2 cup heavy cream


  Place the butter, brown sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk gently until the mixture is smooth.  Just as the mixture comes to a light boil, add the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low.  Whisk well for 2 minutes, or until the glaze is thickened and smooth; then remove the pan from the heat.
