For an easy go-to caramel sauce, try Ree Drummond's recipe, perfect over ice cream or pie, from The Pioneer Woman on Food Network.

Easy Caramel Sauce

brown sugar

half-and-half

butter

salt

vanilla extract

Mix the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook while whisking gently for 5 to 7 minutes, until it gets thicker. Add the vanilla and cook another minute to thicken further. Turn off the heat, cool slightly and pour the sauce into a jar. Refrigerate until cold.

Please don't be rude to people who ask questions.  Not everyone is an advanced cook.  Just be nice and don't say anything if all you have are rude comments.

I used whipping cream and a little milk like someone else did BUT! I added some Malibu coconut rum and ohhh bless your heart for it ;)!

On the 'Ultimate Thanksgiving' show - Ree uses heavy cream, not 1/2 &amp; 1/2.  Sure wish FoodNetwork would supply the recipes correctly.

 This recipe is divine!  To keep the caramel fluid and easy to pour, add 1-2 tbs. corn syrup, works perfectly and this prevents the sauce from crystallizing!!.  The first day I made it the sauce was pretty dense, so, I put it back in the saucepan, added corn syrup, whisked it until it blended easily then stored it in a jar.  I knew there was something missing!  :*)

Amazingly simple &amp; delicious! I read the reviews and I made sure to cook it low and slow so the sugar wouldn’t crystallize.  I added a half shot of dark rum and it reminded of the rum butter sauce on Christmas pudding....soooo good.  My honey loved it over his chocolate cake.  Thanks Ree!





I made this to top ice cream or pies for Thanksgiving and I will never get store bought again!! Big hit with the fam!

Delicious, and turns out perfectly every time.  I cook it low and slow, whisking the entire time, and I'm rewarded with a perfectly smooth, buttery caramel sauce.

Idk what went wrong but it turned into a buttery soup with rubbery, grainy bits of dairy in it. I have made good caramel sauce many times before but this was by far the worst. I literally made an account just to rate this it was so bad. No idea why it went so badly, everything was done right,<div> slow heating, gentle stirring, etc...</div>

This sauce is easy to make and tastes delicious!  It is so rich and creamy and is perfect with fruit.  I love to drizzle it over cream cheese and eat it with apples.

This is Butterscotch sauce! Caramel sauce is not made with brown sugar of any kind. While Butterscotch sauce is very good it is not the same as caramel sauce. And really though making caramel sauce or butterscotch sauce all takes about the same about of time.
