Nobody's written this one down yet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a pot; mix in brown sugar, cream and salt.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat and whisk gently for about 7 minutes, or longer if doubled.
  3. Remove the pot from the heat; add vanilla and return to the heat to cook for another minute or so, to thicken a bit more.
  4. Take it off the stove and pour into a jar, then pop it into the fridge — and voila, you’re done!
