I have a sweet tooth…a big one.  Some days, I think all my teeth are sweet because my cravings are that strong.  One of my absolute favorite things is salted caramel sauce.  I love it on ice cream, in desserts…with just about anything sweet.

  7. This is the recipe we’ve been searching for. Husband was shocked to find out that Joy of Cooking didn’t cover a basic caramel sauce. Looks soooooo good. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music

  8. The recipe doesn’t say when to add the salt? Add with the vanilla or the brown sugar? Thanks.

    1. Oh goodness, I am so sorry about that! After I stir in the vanilla and let it cook for a minute, I remove it from the heat and stir in the salt. I updated the recipe to reflect this.

  11. This is delicious and oh, so easy! Since I was making it for a cake recipe, I cut back on the salt. However, next time I make this syrup, I will try the full salt amount. THANKS!

  12. I just made this – so easy! It’s still cooling down, but I’ve eaten a couple of tablespoons of it already. Delicious! Thanks for the recipe.

    1. I typically only buy unsalted butter so I used that. You could use salted butter if that was what you had and just reduce the kosher salt a little bit {maybe by a pinch since salted butter isn’t really that salty}.
