Normally I make caramel sauce with cream. This version is simply butter and brown sugar. I use salted butter to enhance the taste. Salt and caramel work so well together.
Give the sugar a head start by dissolving it in some water.
The trick here is to slowly cook the butter, water and brown sugar together until the sugar totally dissolves. It is easy but not a quick process.
Use the freshest brown sugar possible. Older brown sugar can clump from humidity or harden from age. Either way those factors could make the sugar harder to dissolve.
