Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir together sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When sugar has dissolved, raise heat to high. Cook, without stirring, until mixture is medium amber, 7 to 8 minutes.
