Salted Caramel Syrup

Ingredients

• 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water, divided 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt 
• 1 cup granulated sugar 
• ¼ cup white corn syrup 

Directions

1. Combine 1 cup water, vanilla extract, and salt. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon water. Stir with a wooden spoon until sugar is melted.  
2. Bring mixture to a boil and let boil until mixture turns a golden brown. Watch carefully as it can burn quickly. Remove from heat.  
3. CAUTION: this step causes bubbling and spattering. Cover hand with an oven mitt and SLOWLY add reserved water mixture. When bubbling subsides, mix until blended. If necessary, put pan back on heat to remelt syrup. Pour into container and refrigerate to chill thoroughly. Avoid the temptation to taste the syrup before chilling. It will be extremely hot.
