Caramel Sauce

Ingredients:

1/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream (40%)

Directions:
in small saucepan, the heavier the better, combine water and sugar over medium heat. stir to combine with wooden spoon. once all the sugar is dissolved, put heat on high for about 5 minutes, or until a light-brown/amber color starts to appear. do not stir during the 5 minutes, and be careful not to let the amber get too dark. then reduce to low heat and add a few spoonfuls of the heavy cream, a spoon at a time, while stirring. be very careful, as initially the mixture will bubble and foam up. once you've added a couple of spoonfuls, you may pour in the rest of the cream. continue to combine, then remove from heat and let cool.

once cooled, pour on your favorite ice cream, meat or just go at it with a spoon.
