Add butter, whisk until melted, take the pan off the heat. Slowly add cream, continue to whisk. Note that mixture will bubble up, so be sure to use large pot. Whisk until caramel sauce is smooth. Let cool in the pan for a couple minutes, then pour into a glass mason jar and let sit to cool to room temperature. Stores in frig for up to 2 weeks. Warm before serving. Makes a little over one cup of sauce. Serve with Organic Ice Cream, Madeleines, use the HimalaSalt Zen Cube & Grater to lightly salt the caramel for exquisite flavor and balance.

The Truth About Salt Campaign
Sustainable Sourcing LLC, the leader in sustainably sourced seasonings, has launched a campaign to demystify salt, the most widely used and misunderstood seasoning in America. Fear of salt has overshadowed the truth. Table salt is no more than industrial waste and sea salt is contaminated. Primordial salt provides a healthy alternative as it was created 250 million years ago when the world was still pristine. Primordial salt promotes our natural balance.
