Amazing Caramel Sauce

This entry is from Grams:

I thought this worthy of passing along to Schrock's Shack and comes from Jack's sister Anita from the Champaign, IL area.
 

• 1 cup packed brown sugar (I use light brown)
•  1/2 Cup heavy cream
•  4 tbsp butter
•   pinch/ salt
•   1 tbsp vanilla extract

1. Melt butter in pot, mix in brown sugar, cream, salt.
2. Cook over medium low heat and whisk gently for about 7 minutes or longer if you doubled.
3. I remove the pot from the heat, add vanilla and return to cook for another minute or so to thicken a bit more. 
4. Take it off the stove and store as you want.

 
 
Comments: SO many calories, I know,  but just a little on ice cream, apple slice dip, etc.
