Caramel for the Mounted Parts

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Heat the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
2. Continue stirring until the sugar has melted and turned a deep amber color.
3. Add the butter, one piece at a time, stirring constantly until the butter has melted and combined with the sugar.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly. The mixture will bubble and steam, so be careful not to burn yourself.
5. Stir in the salt, then set the caramel aside to cool.

Verdict:

This caramel recipe is perfect for drizzling over the mounted parts of a dish. It has a rich, buttery flavor with a hint of salt that balances out the sweetness.

Serving Suggestions:

This caramel would be delicious drizzled over a warm apple pie or bread pudding, or used as a dip for sliced apples or pears. It would also be a great addition to a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
