What You'll Need:

Step 2: Add Cream

Let the caramel cool in the pan for a few minutes before pouring into a glass mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm in the microwave before serving.

And that’s it! Making your own caramel sauce is so easy! Make this easy recipe this fall and tell me how you incorporate it in your homemade recipes. Stay tuned for more scrumptious homestead recipes.

Tips:

  • Make sure that you use a bigger saucepan than what you think you will need as the cream tends to bubble up a bit.
  • Prepare all your ingredients before starting to make the process smoother.
  • If you want to make salted caramel instead, use at least 1 teaspoon. of salt.
  • Avoid making this recipe in larger proportions. The added volume might prevent the sugar from dissolving property. Make caramel in small batches instead.
  • You can freeze the caramel in an airtight container and store for up to 3 months.
