Tips for how to make salted caramel

This homemade salted caramel sauce recipe is easy to make using just four ingredients and doesn't require a thermometer. Just keep an eye on the consistency of your caramel as it melts and then bubbles.

If you cool it for too long after removing from the hob, the caramel will start to harden, but you can easily get it back to a sauce consistency by reheating gently in a pan.

If you want to make the texture of the caramel thinner, add a couple of tablespoons more double cream and stir.

How to store salted caramel: This recipe can be made up to three days in advance. Once caramel cools, pour it into a glass jar or container and refrigerate.

This works a treat but you need to cook it a good 5-10 minutes to make it a nice toffee-coloured, thick caramel with the consistency of Nutella.

How do I find the video guide referred to? My sauce looks too runny?

Hi, the link above should be linking to the video (bbcgoodfood.com/videos/techniques/how-make-salted-caramel-video). You can boil the sauce for a bit longer to thicken it. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
