12 GROUNDCOVER NEWS FOOD Silky smooth salted caramel sauce CHRIS FIELDS Groundcover contributor Ingredients: 2 cups white sugar* 10 tablespoons butter, cut into slices 1 cup heavy cream Sea salt to taste *DANGER: Sugar melts at around 320 degrees and starts caramelizing at 340 degrees. It is also very sticky. Coming into contact with molten sugar can result in severe burns if you’re not careful. This recipe is worth the risk, but caution is advised. Directions: Cut up butter into small slices and place on a plate in the fridge. Place sugar in a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat. After a few minutes, begin stirring the sugar as it starts to melt. At first, it will just clump together. Keep stirring as it continues to melt and turn amber in color. As more of the sugar melts, you may think that something has gone terribly wrong. You will find that most of the sugar is molten but that there are lots of clumpy bits. Have faith. Keep stirring until all of the sugar has melted, and reduce the heat if you think it’s browning too quickly. Any clumpy bits will result in a grainy caramel sauce. Once your sugar is entirely molten, stop stirring and continue to cook over medium heat until it reaches your desired level of caramelization. While you wait, take the butter out of the fridge.

Lighter shades of blonde will result in a sweeter caramel with less depth. Darker shades of amber will result in a less sweet caramel with a more complex and rich flavor. I like to cook mine until it is dark amber and just barely starting to give off wisps of smoke. Once your desired level of caramelization is achieved, turn off the heat and carefully whisk in the butter until combined. This will stop the cooking process and instantly brown all of the butter at the same time. Be careful! The mixture will bubble up and release lots of hot steam. Make sure you’re wearing an oven mitt or using a long whisk so that you don’t get burned! Slowly pour in the cream while continuously stirring until you have a rich luxurious silky smooth caramel sauce Stir in your desired amount of sea salt, tasting periodically to assess the saltiness. I suggest serving with vanilla ice cream, drizzling on top of cake, fruit or pretzels! NEW VENDOR ORIENTATIONS ARE EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, 10 AM @ THE GCN OFFICE. Trainings take 90 minutes.
