   Caramel Sauce Method: In a small sauce pot, bring water and sugar to a boil, swirling pan occasionally until the mixture has reduced and turned a deep amber color, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly add cream while whisking (the liquid will bubble vigorously). Return to medium heat and reduce, stirring occasionally until smooth and thick, roughly 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in butter and salt. Use immediately or cool and reserve for later use.
