If you choose to use any milk alternative such as reduced-fat milk, whole milk, low-fat milk, or full-fat milk, your sauce will not turn out as rich. All-purpose cream contains 30% fat which makes it lighter and more difficult to whip than heavy cream. The main difference between using heavy cream and all-purpose cream is the percentage of fat content. Generally, anything above 35% fat content will work in this recipe. The higher the fat content, the richer and creamier your Salted Caramel Sauce will be. Heavy cream (fresh cream or double cream) will yield the best results for this sauce because of the high 49.4% fat content. It depends!

Yes I licked the caramel sauce from that lid, cause I’m a kid that way, not a mature woman! Just make sure you don’t open the can immediately after boiling it for 3 hours, you could hurt yourself.

Before opening it i placed it in the pot with hot water from the tap for just a few minutes so that the caramel becomes a bit smoother. I left mine out on the counter overnight because I didn’t need it until the next day. After 3 hours remove let the can cool completely in the water. Make sure you look at it occasionally because you will need to add more water as some water will evaporate. The longer you keep it the darker and thicker it will be. Now boil this on medium high heat for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. You want there to be a couple inches of water over the can. Fill a soup pot, or some pot that’s deep enough, with hot water then place the can in the pot. Remove the label from the can if you can, otherwise just leave it on, it will easily come off as you boil this.
