Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Once melted, add the brown sugar and heavy whipping cream, stirring until the mixture boils.
Allow it to boil without stirring for 3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Transfer the sauce to a jar and let it cool before sealing.
As it cools, the sauce will thicken. If refrigerated, it will solidify slightly. To reheat, microwave for about 30 seconds, stir, and serve as desired.

Notes

Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
For a richer flavor, consider using vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
Reheat gently to restore pourable consistency.
