Put the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to melt and caramelize, shaking the saucepan occasionally to mix.
Once the caramel has formed, add the butter all at once (be careful of splashes). Don't take too long to add the butter to avoid burning the caramel. Mix well.
Then pour in the cream, being cautious of splashes, and mix well until the caramel is fully dissolved. Bring to a boil, then let it thicken for about 10 minutes while stirring regularly. The caramel will still be relatively liquid, but don't worry, it will harden as it cools.
Pour into a clean jar, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before consuming.
And there you have it, your salted butter caramel is ready!

Observations

No salted butter? Use regular unsalted butter, and add a tiny teaspoon of salt.
A thicker caramel? Remove a little cream to achieve a thicker consistency.
How long does salted butter caramel keep? The caramel keeps for several weeks in the refrigerator.
