I still remember the idea of making Caramel or Caramel Sauce scared me terribly. I think it was because someone I greatly looked up to had told me that homemade caramel was very difficult, complicated, and at times, even dangerous to make.
For many years, therefore, I tried my best to avoid making it, and then finally when I did gather enough guts to make it, the caramel sauce ended up like a mass of burnt sugar and filled my house with the smell of burnt sugar and my eyes with tears.
It took me another few years before I attempted making this again. This time I pushed away all my fears and voilà! I got a beautiful, thick caramel sauce.
And so here I am today, sharing with you the easiest caramel sauce recipe.
To make this caramel sauce with cream, you will need:

- 1 cup of sugar
- ¼ cup of water
- 1⁄3 cup of cream
- 1 tbsp of butter
- ¼ tsp of salt
Read these tips before you continue to the recipe:
- Use a thick bottomed pan.
- The pan should be deep enough.
- DO NOT STIR the sugar with spoon or spatula at all. If you must, just twirl the saucepan around.
- Once the colour of the sugar starts to change, keep the heat low and keep watching it like a hawk.
How to make it:
- Add Sugar and Water to a Saucepan and boil.
- Continue to boil till it turns golden. Do not stir.

- Add cream and whisk vigorously.

- Add in the butter and salt. Your end caramel sauce should look like this.
