INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups Granulated Sugar
• 12 tablespoons Salted Butter, sliced into tablespoons

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the granulated super to a medium sized saucepan (3 quart size works well).
2. Place it over medium-high heat and cook, watching the entire time and stirring occasionally, until the sugar is golden brown and completely melted.
3. Carefully add the butter. Whisk the ingredients vigorously until the butter is completely melted. The contents of the saucepan will bubble up, so caution should be used.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and very carefully and slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking.
5. The caramel sauce will bubble, but keep whisking until the mixture is completely incorporated. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, and sea salt.
6. Let cool. After it has cooled to room temperature, transfer to your prefered storage container and serve how you like!
