Equipment

  • 1 Heavy Bottomed Stainless Steel Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 150 g white caster sugar (or granulated sugar)
  • 100 ml double cream
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp good quality vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp bourbon whiskey

Instructions

  • Measure out all your ingredients
  • Place sugar in saucepan along with the water and heat gently on medium until the sugar dissolves - DO NOT STIR
  • Once sugar is dissolved, increase heat to medium high and cook for around 10 mins until mixture starts to turn light golden in colour
  • Watch the mixture carefully as it darkens quickly and can burn quickly - turn off heat at desired caramel colour
  • Add cream, butter, salt and whiskey and stir until melted and combined - stand back as mixture can steam and spit
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before decanting into a jar, ready for use
