How to Make Caramel Sauce With White Sugar

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated white sugar and 1/4 cup water.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently and constantly, until the sugar dissolves and begins to turn a dark amber color, about 10-15 minutes. The mixture should resemble black coffee in color and lightly smoke.
Carefully and slowly pour in 1/2 cup of boiling water. (Caution: The mixture will bubble vigorously!)
Whisk continuously until the caramel is smooth and all the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using or storing.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
