Amber and shining, this sauce softens with cream and a trace of sea salt. Poured warm, it drapes over ice cream, cakes, or pancakes, turning simple desserts into something unforgettable.

Searing the Beef

Sprinkle with extra flaky sea salt before serving if you prefer a bolder salted flavor.
The sauce thickens as it cools — gently rewarm to return it to pouring consistency.
Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the sugar and cold water. Cook without stirring until the sugar deepens to an amber color, 10–12 minutes.

Meanwhile, gently warm the cream in a separate pan. Once the caramel reaches a deep amber, slowly whisk in the warm cream. Simmer 2–3 minutes until smooth.

average rating is 5 out of 5

Caramel deepened to amber, finished with cream and a touch of sea salt, becomes a sauce at once simple and indulgent. Poured over ice cream, slipped between cake layers, or saved for weekend pancakes, it lingers like a sweet memory.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
