Ingredients
 

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2-3/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Stir in the maple syrup and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring often.
  • Whisk in the cream and return the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 8-10 minutes, whisking often, until the mixture has deepened in color and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.

Notes

  • Store cooled caramel in a glass jar in the fridge. It will keep for several weeks.
  • Cold caramel will be quite thick and makes a great dip. If you'd like it to be runnier for drizzling or pouring, just rewarm it for a few minutes on the stove or in the microwave.
  • This would be a lovely holiday or housewarming gift.
