Ingredients:

1.5 cups

Sugar

1 cup

Water

1.5 cups

Heavy Cream

Directions:

1

Mix the water and sugar in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan

2

Cover and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves

3

Increase the heat and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a medium brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon

4

Watch it carefully at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly

5

Stand back to avoid splattering, and gradually add the cream and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean (or vanilla extract)

6

Simmer until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth and thick, about 2 minutes

7

Serve warm, or add another 1/4 cup of heavy cream and serve room temperature
