Caramel Sauce (Anna Olson)

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp golden corn syrup
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract


Method:
1. Bring sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice and water to a boil over high heat in a covered heavy-bottomed saucepot. Do not stir!
2. Remove lid once boiling and let sugar cook, brushing sides of the pot right against sugar with cool water once or twice, until an amber colour.
3. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in cream (watch out for steam). Stir in butter and vanilla. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving.






2. Caramel sauce can be prepared ahead and chilled until ready to serve. Simply heat in microwave to warm. Carmel sauce will keep up to a week refrigerated.
