How to Store Homemade Salted Caramel:
To store homemade salted caramel, let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks. When ready to use, simply reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. For long-term storage, consider freezing the caramel in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months—just be sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
