Step 1
Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Pour in 1 cup sugar gradually, adding 1/4 cup at a time. Wait until the sugar is mostly dissolved, then add in the next bit of sugar. As the sugar melts it will slowly deepen in color.
Step 3
Stir occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved and has become a deep amber color, then turn off the heat.
Step 4
Slowly mix in 6 Tbsp of butter (2 Tbsp at a time) then stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 tsp salt. The mixture will be thin but will thicken as it cools.
Step 5
Pour into a separate container, then place in the fridge to cool and/or store. When you're ready to use it, heat the caramel in the microwave in short 15-second intervals until it's a more workable consistency.
