Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add the brown sugar and stir in well. Continue to stir for 2 minutes.
Whisk in the heavy cream and continue to stir for another 2 minutes. The sauce should be bubbling a bit, but not going crazy.
Remove from heat. Add in vanilla and salt and stir well.
Pour into a clean glass pint jar and allow to cool completely on the counter. It will thicken as it cools. Once cooled, screw on the lid and store in the fridge.
