This recipe is The Bomb. It is quick, requires a handful of ingredients, will rock your world and impress everyone who is lucky enough to sample even a drop of it. This sauce requires real, lux salt, not the nasty table salt that you can buy in massive pantry packs. Nigella has shown us again why she is the queen of all things decadent and divine with this recipe. Serve this with vanilla ice cream for a show stopper dessert. Add the salt in increments & taste as you go.
With thanks to Anna Warr [http://www.facebook.com/AnnaWarrPhotography] for her delish snaps.
GATHER:
50g brown sugar
50g caster sugar
50mL golden syrup
125mL double cream
75g unsalted butter, cubed
half to one-and-a-half teaspoons best quality salt [I use pink Murray River salt]
LET’S GET TO IT:
Melt butter, sugars and syrup in a small heavy pan and simmer for two to three minutes. Swirl, don’t stir, occasionally.
Slowly pour in cream and half a teaspoon of the salt and stir before tasting. Add a little more salt at a time if you desire.
Pour into serving jug and watch your guests drool.

I will definitely be making this – looks amazing! Just need to buy good salt… Nigella’s recipes are always delicious
I agree, that woman knows her way around the kitchen! Good salt should be available in supermarkets. Failing that perhaps a friend could give you some of her stash?
Love the recipes. Any chance in the future we could see some wheat-free (almond meal!?) or protein-rich after dinner treats? Thanks!
Hmmm, will put my thinking cap on for protein rich desserts & almond-meal based sweet treats. Thanks for stopping by!
That looks sensational, I’ll be trying that one out tonight…
Please do and let me know what you think of it.
Yummmmmmmy caramel. Delicious and decadent!
Decadent is good!

You really should – you won’t regret it 🙂
i can just see this amazing caramel sauce paired with so many things. I love it. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us. Wonderful post
Some people even eat it by the spoonful. So I’ve heard…
Thanks for visiting!
Reblogged this on Another Scratch Blog and commented:
This is something worth making. I can already imagine how it tastes.
Spectacular recipe. Thank you
It is truly yum 🙂
ooo this caramel does look delicious!!
The best way to eat is spooned straight from jar 🙂
Adore Nigella Lawson. But. I’ve read that there’s really no American substitute for golden syrup. True? Am sure I could hunt it down somewhere. There’s not much I wouldn’t do for a crazy-good (and fast and easy 🙂 ) salted caramel sauce.
This reminds me a bit of the caramel sauce on my grandmother’s apple cake recipe – I’ll have to try this soon! 🙂 I always seem to forget, until I see a recipe, how good salted caramel is!
Oh, salted caramel is often at the forefront of my mind! I often eat it by the spoonful straight frm the container #glutton
Guilty of that, here, too! Especially after midnight! 🙂 Can I blame it on low blood sugar? Naaahhh!
Absolutely delish, useing it tonight swirled through cream on a baked cheesecake. Thank you Nigella💝
How fab is Nigella? #loveHer
