Ingredients
1cupgranulated sugar
2tbsplight corn syrup
2tbspwater
¼tsplemon juice
½cupheavy cream,heated
½tspvanilla extract
1tbspbutter,softened
Preparation
Whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, water, and lemon juice in a microwave-safe measuring cup or glass bowl until combined.
Microwave on high for 5 to 8 minutes, until the mixture ever so slightly begins to turn a light golden color.
Carefully remove the measuring cup from the microwave, then place it on a dry surface.
Let it rest untouched for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture turns a deep amber color.
Add in about 1 tablespoon of the heated cream, then immediately whisk to combine. The caramel will bubble furiously, but whisking will keep it from overflowing.
Continue adding the cream slowly in small increments until it is all whisked in.
Add in the vanilla and butter, then whisk to combine.
Serve immediately warm or chilled over favorite desserts, and enjoy!
