Equipment

  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 6 Tbsp grass-fed butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Mix sugar and water in a medium saucepan and turn the stove to medium-high heat
  • Allow sugar to dissolve, stir constantly

  • Slowly pour in the heavy cream and stir until combined
  • Add vanilla extract and salt.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a mason jar and let cool completely.
