Low carb, super tasty

Mix powdered sugar with water in a small saucepan. Alternatively, blend the sugar in a blender until it dissolves better and doesn’t crystallize later. Heat the mixture slowly over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid has turned an amber color. This may take longer or faster depending on the power of your stove. Stir occasionally. Once the color is reached, add the butter and stir until melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully and slowly add the cream. Finally, add the vanilla and salt. Transfer the sauce to a screw-top jar and let it cool; it will thicken slightly. The caramel sauce will keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks. It tastes great with LC ice cream or popcorn if you want to avoid sugar.
