Salted Caramel Sauce

I love salted caramels. I first tried it a few years ago and the combination is amazing. I found this recipe for homemade caramel sauce and tweaked it a little by adding some sea salt at the end of the cooking process. It is spoon licking yummy. It would be great on ice-cream or just out of the jar! Hope you enjoy.
Salted Caramel Sauce
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 ts vanilla
1 ts sea salt
melt sugar in heavy bottom pan until dissolved. Watch because it will burn. Add butter and let it melt before adding cream. It freezes up once the cold cream is added and you have to remelt it. Stir continuously with wooden spoon and smooth. It takes a few minutes to come together. Add vanilla and salt off heat. Allow to cool before placing in jars.
I can't get my camera to download pictures right now. Not sure what is going on but that is why the last few posts haven't had pictures attached....
