In a dry skillet heat 1 cup sugar over medium heat, turning it with a fork occasionally until is starts to melt, then let it melt stirring only once in a while, you dont want it to burn but you dont want to clump too much.









When it is entirely melted and a deep amber color, SLOWLY add 1 1/4 cups of the whipping cream( It will spatter and the sugar with crystallize. )Continue heating and stirring until all the crystallized sugar is melted into the cream. Add in salt, vanilla and butter and mix.
