Ingredients
  1. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  2. 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  3. 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  4. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into several pieces
  5. 1/2 tsp kosher salt
What to do?
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan, and stir until all of the sugar looks wet. Cover, set the pan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely melted, about 3 minutes.

Continue to cook, covered but this time without stirring, until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking, without stirring but paying close attention, until the mixture turns the color dark maple syrup, about 5 minutes more.
