In a medium pot, gently mix together sugar and water Let cook on medium heat. Do not mix after sugar starts to dissolve.
Heat sugar until a deep amber color is achieved. Make sure your pot is centered on the stove so the sugar caramelizes evenly.
Once you’ve reached a dark amber color, remove from heat. Using extreme cation add cream and butter a little at a time while whisking. This mixture will bubble quite a bit when you add the ingredients but you can use a potholder to hold the whisk and it will settle quickly.
Add the salt, and enjoy!
If you're new to making caramel and navigating its finicky nature—add an ⅛ of a teaspoon of lemon juice or cream of tartar before cooking the sugar to prevent crystallization.
Store in an air-tight container or jar in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
