Ingredients
  • 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • ½ cup heavy cream (warmed in the microwave)
  • ¼ cup COLD butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom

Instructions
  1. Heat cream in the microwave for one minute. Add butter to a heatproof bowl and place a sieve over the bowl. Measure out maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and spices. Set aside.
  2. Place the sugar in a heavy pot and pour water over. Cover with a lid and cook over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. When boiling, remove lid and continue to cook until the sugar turns a golden amber color, about 4 to 7 minutes.
