Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 TBSP corn starch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup half and half you can also use light cream
  • 1 TBSP agave syrup use corn syrup if you like
  • 1 TBSP butter if you use salted, taste the caramel before adding the Fleur de Sel
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract add a little more if you like
  • 3/4 tsp Fleur de Sel more or less to taste, substitute with regular salt

Instructions

  • in a heavy sauce pan over medium heat stir together the brown sugar and the corn starch
  • whisk in the water, then half and half and the agave syrup
  • cook and stir over medium high heat until mixture is bubbly
  • cook and stir for 2 more minutes, it may appear to "curdle" but it isn't just keep stirring
  • remove from the heat, stir in the butter, vanilla and the salt
  • store in the fridge for up to a week

Notes

  • you don't have to add the salt to this recipe but try it once with the salt, I guarantee friends will clamor for the recipe
  • if you're not sure how much salt to add or you don't have Fleur de Sel, add a small amount, taste it (Oh Drat!) and add more as needed
